Tweed wins key ruling; state mulls appeal

Tweed-New Haven Airport secured an important legal victory Tuesday in its bid to extend its main runway and attract more airlines, but the state is mulling an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a 23-page decision Tuesday in the airport’s favor. The ruling noted Tweed’s runway is “one of the shortest commercial airport runways in the country.”

“The short length of the Airport’s runway has sharply limited the availability of safe commercial air service at Tweed,” Tuesday’s decision said.
