After announcing plans last week to shut down 149 air traffic control towers at smaller airports, the Federal Aviation Administration has now given the dates for when funding will run out for those contract air traffic towers.
Not only does it give local communities notice on when operations will cease at those small towers, but it also could start efforts in some areas to fund the towers on their own.
Remember, this move only closes the air traffic tower - the airports remain open.
