Connecticut Business Aviation Group Condemns Delay of Safety Improvements at Sikorsky Memorial Airport
After the most recent accident at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, where a turboprop aircraft carrying five passengers and two crewmembers crashed through the blast fence at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, the Connecticut Business Aviation Group (CTBAG) issued a strong condemnation of those who have used politics to create artificial delays to implementing safety improvements at the same spot where the accident occurred.

“This accident echoes back to several similar accidents in the past in this exact same location with one important exception – everyone walked away,” said Scott Ashton, Vice Chairman of the Group. “These improvements are specifically designed to prevent this exact type of accident from occurring. The elected officials of Stratford, through their political tactics of sneaking in moratoriums through back door channels for the last three years, have delayed important safety improvements to the airport. It cannot take another accident to get these improvements completed."
