Lafayette goes to court over new flight routes
LAFAYETTE — New flight procedures unveiled by the Federal Aviation Administration at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport have rankled the City of Lafayette, which filed a federal court petition challenging them. The city says changes were made without public engagement or review, “significantly increasing” aircraft traffic over the city and creating “increased noise and environmental impacts on the community.”
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, Lafayette filed the petition Friday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia after the FAA formalized new arrival and departure routes in a Nov. 10 NOTAM, or “notice to airmen.”
