California’s Orange County Board of Supervisors has unanimously approved major alterations to the general aviation infrastructure at John Wayne-Orange County Airport (SNA). The 5-0 vote on the proposal put forward by vice-chair Second District supervisor Michelle Steel during a June 24 meeting will redefine the current acreage designated for smaller-aircraft operations and at the same time reduce the space available for larger business jets as part of the airport's General Aviation Improvement Plan (GAIP).
