A federal appeals court in New York has cleared the way for construction to begin in full at the new Panama City-Bay County International Airport, officials announced Monday.
“This is a red-letter day for the airport,†said Airport Authority Vice Chairman Bill Cramer upon receiving news of the decision just before an Airport Authority’s regular meeting Monday morning.
The ruling by the three-judge panel for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan was filed late Friday, just two days after the judges heard oral arguments on an attempt by three organizations to appeal the Federal Aviation Administration’s record of decision in late 2006 approving the new airport.
