Suffolk County operates Francis S. Gabreski Airport (FOK) in Westhampton Beach; Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) is operated by the Town of Islip. East Hampton Airport (JPX) is town-owned and has been subject to extensive aircraft noise litigation. FAA preempts most local aircraft noise regulation under 49 USC 40103.
East Hampton Town attempted curfews and use restrictions at JPX; the town restructured the airport as a private-use facility (KJPX) in 2022 to gain local control. Gabreski sees Air National Guard and general aviation traffic; noise complaints go to the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning. MacArthur noise complaints are handled by the Town of Islip Noise Abatement office. Helicopter routes over the North and South Forks follow FAA Long Island North Shore Route.
Airport-level curfew violations at MacArthur can trigger landing fee surcharges. FAA fines aircraft operators directly for Part 91 violations.
