Airports face a constant struggle in the face of development and constantly spiraling costs of operation. Neighbors who have moved into the vicinity of the airport find the noise bothersome and irritating despite the fact that they were the ones who moved to the nuisance. The Jump Law Group has been extensively involved in dealing with town councils, and citizens committees who are opposed to airport operations. Sometimes, involvement has been merely discussing setting up a citizen action committee to bring the opposition into the fold to work with them rather than against them. Other times, litigation has been the result when the parties were too entrenched to work together. Although I advise against making litigation your first choice, there is strong support and law to establish that airports are exempt from local regulation where the FAA has supremacy over the operation and regulation of airports. This concept has to be demonstrated from time to time with local municipal regulatory authorities, but here is an area where the FAA is definitely on your side. Our airports are the main thoroughfares through which our towns and cities prosper. They must be preserved and they must be encouraged to grow as part of the community. The Jump Law Group has strived to create an approach that involves all parties as community activists rather than litigous parties. , If your airport is facing this constant strife, we encourage you to contact us. We will be happy to sit down with the airport authority and discuss creating methods to involve the public rather to create positive solutions.
