Scottsdale’s fight to have flight paths to and from Sky Harbor International Airport reevaluated has come to a disappointing close after several years of legal battle.
On June 24, the United States Court of Appeals for the district of Columbia dismissed Scottsdale’s petition for lack of standing.
Scottsdale petitioned for review of the FAA’s decision to approve certain east-bound flight paths out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, claiming the FAA did not adequately consider the environmental and historical-resource consequences of those flight paths.
