Danbury (CT) Airplane-Eating Trees Harder to Deal With Than Thought

Tree Removal Issue Threatens Danbury, CT Municipal Airport

NBAA tells us that the FAA and the state of Connecticut are willing to pay 97 percent of the $4,500,000 price tag to have trees removed from Danbury Municipal Airport (DXR), but Danbury, CT politicians are unwilling to pay the remaining $110,000.

Without the tree removal, the FAA warned the city that it would have to displace the thresholds of two airport runways. The longest runway is just over 4,400 ft., and any displacing of the thresholds could jeopardize the use of the airport by certain aircraft.

Until the trees are cut down, the FAA will not contribute to maintenance or repair costs at the airport.
