FAA Finds Santa Monica in Violation of Grant Agreements
The FAA determination on a Part 16 filed against the City of Santa Monica provides SMO operators and tenants "a morsel of god news," AOPA said.

In a decision welcomed by industry, the FAA has found the city of Santa Monica in violation of grant assurances surrounding economic nondiscrimination and airport revenues. The agency further determined that the city could not establish compliance with a grant assurance covering reasonable rates and fees.
