The people fighting to save air traffic control at Windsor International Airport were declaring Thursday a “tremendous day,” after NAV Canada announced it won’t shut down the control tower here or at any other airport across the country.
“It’s exciting and certainly it’s a vindication for all of those advocates who came forward and called for NAV Canada to halt their study of Windsor Airport,” Mayor Drew Dilkens said after learning of NAV Canada’s out-of-the-blue announcement. It puts to rest the most-feared possible outcome of an ongoing aeronautical study: the closure of the airports control tower.
