The city and the Connecticut Airport Authority have formally asked federal authorities to authorize an operating agreement for the latter to run Bridgeport’s Sikorsky Memorial Airport. The sides have since been talking about reaching an arrangement for the CAA to run, but not own, the airport with a particular focus on relaunching the dormant regular passenger service there. The initial length of the agreement would be five years with an option for an additional two years or for the CAA to again pursue an acquisition of Sikorsky. The 2023-24 fiscal plan the mayor proposed in early April rolled that $4 million over. But when the council voted on a final budget last week, it had reduced the amount to $2 million because of the ongoing uncertainty over Sikorsky’s fate.
