The FAA has approved a conversion plan for the East Hampton (New York) Airport (KHTO) to close as a public use facility at 11:59 p.m. on May 17 and reopen as a private-use airport on May 19 at 9 a.m. After the conversion, it will be known as the East Hampton Town Airport (KJPX) and operate under prior permission required (PPR) rules and impose curfews, a variety of other restrictions, and significantly higher landing fees. The new rules will not apply to public, emergency, or military operations; however, emergency operators must file written reports with the airport director within 24 hours of the event.
