Urging The Federal Aviation Administration And Hawaii's Congressional Delegation To Take Any Actions Necessary To Establish An Air Traffic Control Tower At Lanai Airport.
Impact
If implemented, this resolution would enhance safety and operational efficiency at Lanai Airport by allowing for more effective management of air traffic, which has become increasingly vital with the growing number of flights. An air traffic control tower would provide oversight and coordination, potentially reducing the risk of accidents and improving the overall flying experience for passengers. It also aligns with broader goals of improving infrastructure in Hawaii to support tourism and connectivity.
Summary
House Resolution 152 urges the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Hawaii's congressional delegation to take the necessary actions to establish an air traffic control tower at Lanai Airport. The resolution emphasizes the importance of managing and separating air traffic as both general aviation and commercial aircraft traffic in the region increase. Currently, Lanai Airport, which served over one hundred thousand passengers in the year ending December 2022, lacks an air traffic control tower, raising concerns regarding safe and orderly traffic control in the airspace around the airport.
Contention
While the resolution presents a straightforward request to federal authorities, there may be discussions around the funding and logistical challenges involved in establishing a new air traffic control tower. Potential opposition may arise from budgetary constraints or differing priorities within the FAA and local stakeholders. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the request depends on the FAA's criteria for establishing air traffic control towers, which includes assessing safety considerations and traffic levels.
