East Coast military airspace goes public for July 4th
Commercial airlines will once again get permission to use U.S. military airspace along the East Coast during the 4th of July weekend in hopes of reducing delays, U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters announced today.
The details:The Department of Defense (DOD) is releasing airspace off the eastern seaboard from 6:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday, July 3, to 6:00 a.m. on Monday, July 7, the Secretary said. This is similar to what was done over Memorial Day, Christmas and Thanksgiving. The military continually works with the Federal Aviation Administration to release the airspace anytime it is not being used for military missions, the Secretary noted.
