Tenant Protest at Opa Locka Airport
As was also reported in Aviation Week online, a protest was held at Opa Locka Flightline yesterday June 9th, at 10am. The NAACP, NBC news, PULSE, ariport tenants, Opa Locka residents and a over a hundred supporters gathered on Flightline’s ramp and help a press conference with high powered litigator, Willie Gary.
In concert with the other dozen evicted tenants of Opa Locka Airport they are going to push forward their litigation and FAA part 16 complaints. The result of which could be the goverment withholding federal funds for Miami Dade Aviation (inlcuding Miami International Airport).
Aviation Week noted that “AAA was found during a county audit to be 90 days past due on $252,030, and further, that the developer was in violation of its obligation to provide $22.6 million in leasehold improvements within 18 months of acquiring the lease, or by Sept. 9, 2008.” Adler has not laid down a single brick in the airport and is now in default of their lease obligations with the county. Who within the city management can argue in favor of defending AA Acquisitions?
