Meeting with security officials scheduled for Monday morning    

11/16/01 4:49:37 PM ET — As of late this afternoon, FAA officials report that 
no easing of airspace restrictions are likely to occur before Monday. FAA was 
unable to secure final approval from security officials in time for a weekend 
release. A meeting with security agencies has been set for Monday morning and 
AOPA anticipates an announcement sometime after this meeting takes place. As 
reported yesterday, <A HREF="http://news.aopa.org/#stage";>the FAA is working on 
a plan</A> to phase out ECB and ease 
restrictions in the Washington no-fly zone. AOPA will continue to work 
closely with the FAA on these important initiatives as well as the New York 
and Boston areas and provide updates as they become available.
