Centennial Airport loses scheduled service appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a lower federal court ruling upholding an FAA decision that denies federal funding for Centennial Airport, a major GA facility near Denver. The case began nearly six years ago when Centennial Express applied to the airport board for permission to establish scheduled passenger service. The request was denied, igniting a legal battle. Despite the FAA’s determination and the Supreme Court’s decision, airport authorities continue to stand firm.
