Perrocco alleges runway lights were blocked by snow removal
Socialist Town Chairman Albert M. Perrocco charged that on March 17 from noon onward several Allegheny Airlines flights were diverted because snow removal had covered runway lights. Allegheny manager Albert J. Pittman said four flights were canceled before noon due to snow and low visibility, and two afternoon flights used the Lordship runway with special permission. He argued lights on pedestals cannot be blocked and noted Lordship lacks lights. Perrocco maintained the problem reflects poor maintenance and urged the mayor to fix issues to attract more airport use, including Mohawk Airlines as it compares Bridgeport and New Haven airports for service.
