The Federal Aviation Administration announced in Nov. 2006 that planes will again start to leave McCarran International Airport to the northwest. When the plan was tested, it produced a firestorm of protest.
Now, the city of Las Vegas says is taking t he FAA to court over the "right turn" decision. The city claims the FAA did not analyze the impact on air quality, specifically carbon monoxide and particular matter from the increase in the number of planes sitting on the runway.
Do you agree with the city of Las Vegas and the residents in the northwest valley? Or do you agree with the FAA’s "right turn" decision?
