The FAA reversed a rule that would have removed a layer of airspace control over a New Hampshire airport

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) withdrew a rule that would have revoked Class E surface airspace for Manchester Boston Regional Airport. This means the airport will retain an extra layer of controlled airspace that was previously deemed unnecessary.

This reversal means that air traffic controllers will continue to manage a specific block of airspace around Manchester Boston Regional Airport. The FAA initially thought a higher level of airspace control made the lower layer redundant. Now, they have decided to keep it, maintaining more stringent control over aircraft movements in that area.
