The City has been given a brief reprieve in its deadline to submit plans for the proposed privatization of Midway Airport. The deadline for the submission to the FAA was for today, February 1, but the FAA has granted the City an extension until April 30. The City has been working on a plan for the privatization of the airport since the fall of 2008, but the credit crisis nixed the deal last spring. The proposal has since been resuscitated but the City has been more cautious on this second approach.
