The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Friday that it will delay the closure of 149 federal air traffic control towers, including 11 in Florida, until June 15.
On March 22, the FAA said it would be eliminating funding for the towers as part of its $637 million budget cuts under sequestration.
The FAA said that during the delay it will try to resolve the legal challenges against it, of which Florida is involved. It also said the extra time will allow the agency and airports to move forward with changes to the National Airspace System.
