FAA Freezes Whiteman Airport Capital Projects
A small aircraft crashed upside down in an auto parts parking lot near Whiteman Airport. The pilot sustained critical injuries in the accident. LA County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath has ordered the Department of Public Works to identify immediate safety strengthening measures for the airport area. The Whiteman Airport Coalition responded by stating that Horvath has directed a freeze on pursuing FAA-funded capital improvement projects at the airport. The decision follows concerns that the airport is unsafe, noisy, and contributes to air pollution. This action halts planned infrastructure upgrades at the facility. No specific timeline for lifting the freeze was provided.
