Sidney Objects to Federal Firefighting Rule for Small Airports
The city of Sidney argues a proposed federal rule mandating firefighting equipment for every Frontier Airlines landing or takeoff creates hardship and waste at Sidney Municipal Airport. Officials cite 14 years and 20 000 flights without injuries and say costs would be about 10 000 dollars yearly, burdening taxpayers and tolling fares. They request an amendment excluding airports with under five daily flights or under 3 000 average passengers.
