Airport Law Digest – 2026 Mid-Year Update

We are pleased to share Kaplan Kirsch’s Airport Law Digest – 2026 Mid-Year Update.

This Airport Law Digest includes a list of principal cases decided over the past six months; new federal rules, policies, and guidance; and reports, studies, and articles of interest to airport legal professionals. We have attempted to provide links to publicly available documents, and most other documents are available via subscription services such as Westlaw or LexisNexis.

This Digest is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for legal advice.

We hope you find this Digest useful in your efforts to remain current in the always-evolving legal and regulatory framework that governs airports. If you have questions about any of the materials in this Digest, please contact editors Nicholas M. Clabbers and Laura K. Kilgarriff, or any other Kaplan Kirsch attorney who normally represents you.
