East Hampton is facing five different lawsuits against its plan to close the local airport and reopen it under the town’s private control.
The tony town of East Hampton has already reportedly shelled out $2.5 million-plus to battle a slew of money-draining lawsuits challenging its plan to privatize its airport — after angering just about all its residents.
Sabin said he operates his business out of the Hamptons in part because the airport allows him to fly in clients whenever he pleases. Under the new rules, Slye said, take-off and landing fees for small, locally-based aircraft will be bumped up in some cases from $20 to $300, kneecapping pilots and aviation enthusiasts who can’t afford the hefty increase.
And if people can’t fly into the town’s airport, they’ll land in surrounding locations such as Southampton, West Hampton and Mattituck on the North Fork, potentially wreaking havoc in those places, insiders say.Dennis A. Clark
