Los Angeles City Council Approves Lease at Van Nuys Airport
The Los Angeles City Council approved a contentious lease for Bonseph Helinet LLC at Van Nuys Airport by an 11-2 vote, allowing a five-year lease that may extend to 25 years. Despite opposition from two council members and significant community concerns about environmental impacts, the council settled a lawsuit with Bonseph Helinet after previously rejecting the lease proposal. The proposed $26 million redevelopment plan includes two new hangars, terminal space, and improved ramp areas, but residents fear increased noise and air pollution. Councilmember Imelda Padilla expressed concerns over the lack of transparency in the request-for-proposal process. Bonseph Helinet had accused the city of violating its own charter by delaying the lease approval beyond the mandated 30 days. The Van Nuys Airport Association has also filed a complaint with the FAA regarding the council's actions, suggesting potential federal regulatory violations.
