Settlement requested Wed 21st May 2008 4:57am PDT by mozrules: Regarding the hearing on May 15, should be settled as "Yes" ::

At a hearing on the injunction on May 15, a district court judge granted the FAA’s request for an injunction, which prohibits the City of Santa Monica from enforcing its ban on large aircraft operations at SMO. The injunction replaces a temporary injunction the court issued in April. Although there will be further court proceedings, this injunction is effective indefinitely, to allow the FAA time to complete a review of the ban (the agency has warned its review will likely find that the city's ban violates federal law).

NBAA strongly agrees with the FAA that Santa Monica has neither the authority nor a justification to adopt the ban.
