Wyoming's Jackson Hole airport is holding a public meeting on 17 March on its proposal to ban Stage 2 business jets under 34,000kg (75,000lb). The airport says a provision in the 2003 Federal Aviation Administration reauthorisation act, Vision 100, allows it to impose the ban without conducting an FAA- mandated noise study. Under the proposal, operators of Stage 2 aircraft will be able to apply for a six-month extension provided they submit proof that they have ordered a Stage 3 hushkit or replacement Stage 3 aircraft.
