State of
Maryland Files Petitions Regarding Flight Paths at Reagan National
and BWI Thurgood
Marshall Airports
BALTIMORE, MD (June 26, 2018) – Maryland
Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today announced the State of Maryland has
filed two petitions regarding flight paths at Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport (DCA) and at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). The
first action is a petition for review in the United States Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit regarding the Federal Aviation
Administration’s (FAA) implementation changes to the approach flight path for
Runway 19 at DCA. The second is an administrative petition, filed with
the FAA, that requests a supplemental environmental assessment as well as
revisions to area navigation routes and procedures for BWI. Attorney
General Frosh noted that the FAA failed to conduct the necessary
environmental reviews prior to implementing the new flight paths.
“The FAA must follow required procedures
before implementing changes to flight paths that impact thousands of Maryland
residents,” said Attorney General Frosh. “Thousands of Marylanders have
had their lives disrupted since the new flight paths were implemented without
the appropriate level of environmental review, public input, and
transparency.” [...] Please click here to view a copy of the entire Press Release: http://www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/press/2018/062618.pdf
