FAA Backs Agreement to Shelve LAX Plan
The Los Angeles (CA) Times
The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday signed off on an agreement in
which the city would shelve its $11-billion modernization plan for Los
Angeles International Airport in exchange for nearby communities' dropping
their legal challenges.
The FAA approved a plan that could reduce the number of gates, but said it
could agree to doing so only through 2015. The city negotiated the proposed
settlement with four airport-area cities, Los Angeles County and community
groups. It allows for needed runway construction to move forward next year.
