News and Events

UPDATE!  On May 10, 2013, USDOT announced that the 149 federal contract towers originally scheduled for closure on June 15, 2013 will remain open and fully staffed until September 30, 2013 as a result of PL 113-9, Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013.  The cuts were originally put forth to address federal budget cuts required by PL 112-25, Budget Control Act of 2011 (a.k.a., sequestration).  The air traffic control tower at Nashua Airport (Boire Field) was originally included in these 149 tower closures.  Commissioner Clement has written a letter to FAA opposing the closure stating, “There are well over 100 businesses that use Nashua Airport to serve markets here in the United States and internationally in Europe.”
