Cherry Capital Airport has received the following guidance
from the FAA:
The FAA has been receiving inquiries from airports about
their authority to implement a range of restrictions, changes in operations,
terminal service consolidations, and other responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many of these inquiries reflect interest in facilitating social distancing or
adapting to a reduced level of activity at the airport. The FAA’s primary
concern is that federally obligated airports remain safe and open to the
traveling public and aircraft. Particularly during this public health
emergency, airports play an essential role in transporting medical and
emergency equipment and personnel. The FAA continues to expect all airports to
operate safely and stay open. Passengers
cannot be categorically refused access to air transportation. Airlines may refuse transportation to a
passenger because of a communicable disease if the passenger’s condition poses
a direct threat to the health or safety of others.
