East Hampton Eyes Airport Restrictions, Mulls Closure

East Hampton, New York officials are weighing a variety of options under a formal FAA Part 161 study process to curb operations and/or shutter East Hampton Airport (HTO) altogether. The town board agreed to move forward with the Part 161 process last fall after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to overturn an earlier ruling against East Hampton’s effort to impose curfews and certain other “noisy” aircraft restrictions.
