A DECISION by the US aviation regulator has moved forward plans by a small Georgia airport to begin commercial service, despite strong opposition by Delta Air Lines and the city of Atlanta, the local county authority said on Friday.
The approval by the Federal Aviation Authority, related to the handling of federal grants for the Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport, clears the way for the environmental study that is seen as the last major step before the FAA would decide on whether to allow commercial service at the single-runway airport, located about 64 km from Atlanta, county officials said. "It allows us to move forward," David Austin, chairman of the Paulding County Board of Commissioners, told Reuters.
