December 2013 – Santa Monica Airport’s fate has many implications – Once a key strategic asset for a nation at war, Santa Monica Municipal Airport has survived many attempts on its life over the years.

The latest threat is a lawsuit filed Oct. 31 by the city of Santa Monica, Calif., in an effort to take full control of theairport’s fate and release the city from its obligation to operate an airport on the 227 acres in question. A ruling on the lawsuit that will initially be made by a U.S. District Court judge could have implications for the long-term survival of hundreds of other airports across the country.
