Injunction Keeps East Hampton Airport Available to Public
Long Island's East Hampton Airport will remain open without planned restrictions under a ruling by the State Supreme Court.

An October 19 ruling by New York State Supreme Court justice Paul Baisley prevents the town of East Hampton from temporarily closing its airport (KJPX) then reopening it as a private-use facility with prior permission required, according to NBAA. The ruling comes after a protracted attempt by the city to change the airport’s operational status, NBAA explained, “ostensibly to address community concerns over noise.”
