Response to Last Month’s Public Comments
Comment: “FAA entitlement funds earmarked for Block Island and Westerly…”Fact: Entitlement funds are not “earmarked” for the sole purpose of those primary non-hub airports. RIAC uses these entitlement funds across the airport system to ensure safety. This use is subject to the FAA’s approval based on justification and reasonableness of scope of work.
Comment: “(Airport user) has written Mr. Andrade, Mr. McCurley, Ms. Fadden and Mr. Greco to ask about this without a response…”
Fact: RIAC has threads of emails between this commenter and the personnel identified which have been shared with board members and elected officials.
Comment: “only airport in the region which only has 25 paved parking places available for up to 100 aircraft”
Fact: BID currently has a combined 67 tie-downs/parking positions on turf and ramp areas. FlightLevel has reported in public forums that they have not turned away any aircraft due to lack of space.
Comment: “The displacing of threshold will strand Newport placed aircraft and also prevent charter and fractural (sic) ownership aircraft from using this field.”
Fact: Prior to displacing the threshold, RIAC contacted and received feedback from the fractional aircraft ownership company, PlaneSense, who informed RIAC that the threshold would not affect their operations.
Comment: “we know that you plan to restrict access to the parking area at the Block Island and Westerly State Airports in order to charge parking fees.”
