F.A.A. Will Delay Closings of Airport Towers Forced by Sequestration.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that it would delay closing the control towers at 149 airports until June to allow for safety analyses and “to attempt to resolve multiple legal challenges.”
The closings had been planned as part of a $637 million spending reduction at the agency as required under the across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration.
The towers are at fields that handle mostly private planes, corporate jets, aviation schools and minimal airline traffic. The towers’ long-term fate is not yet clear. The F.A.A. said that about 50 airport authorities and municipalities had indicated that if necessary, they would pick up the cost of running the towers themselves.
