Control Towers at Small Airports to Stay Open Until September
The sequestration that wasn't
The Transportation Departments says 149 control towers at small airports that were slated for closure will remain — open at least through Sept. 30.
The department sent out a brief statement Friday. It says Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has determined there is enough extra money, under a bill passed by Congress last month, to keep the towers open through the end of the budget year.
