Court reimposes Kennedy Concorde ban pending hearings
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower ruling, reinstating Port Authority restrictions on Concorde SST landings at Kennedy. It sent the case to Judge Milton Pollack for hearings on whether the 13 month ban is reasonable, signaling ongoing litigation likely to reach the Supreme Court. The court urged ending the dispute with reasonable noise standards and a prompt study conclusion. The decision keeps Concorde trials at bay, with British Airways and Air France awaiting possible field operations.
