Santa Monica Statement on NBAA Motion
March 7, 2017 5:02 PM
Good Afternoon, Media Partners:
In response to the motion filed yesterday by the National Business Aviation Association and five others, Santa Monica Mayor Ted Winterer issued the following statement today:
“We do not believe the NBAA motion has merit. The City of Santa Monica will continue to follow through on our commitment to close Santa Monica Airport at midnight on December 31, 2028 and shorten the runway in the short term as outlined in the Consent Decree,” said Santa Monica Mayor Ted Winterer.
Last week, the Santa Monica City Council unanimously adopted a resolution ensuring the closure of SMO and approved a contract to being work on shortening the runway. Read the media alert >
