The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing a major change to the airspace surrounding Wilmington International Airport, citing growing passenger traffic and concerns about potential conflicts between aircraft. The proposed change would establish Class C airspace and eliminate the existing Class D airspace and Terminal Radar Service Area. According to the FAA, this change is intended to improve air traffic management and reduce the potential for midair collisions. The proposal was reported by WWAYTV3.
