Neighborhood opponents to the airport re-designation  of the airport into an international terminal point to numerous issues including: the possibility of  a challenge to the LB Noise Ordinance;  the lack of reliable evidence an FIS will provide significant local economic benefits; a decrease in domestic flights; and significant economic risks in international travel with Mexico during the Trump administration.
