The East Hampton Town Board announced Tuesday that it will close the municipality’s airport at the end of February. The plan is to then reopen the airport a few days later under private control — with restrictions likely to limit its use to the ultra-rich who own their own aircrafts.
Critics say the slick move will effectively leave the posh area’s average Joe millionaires who don’t own aircraft in a lurch while catering to local more influential billionaires — and addressing financial concerns.
A source with knowledge of the plan told The Post that the board is set to ban commercial flights at the “new” airport, meaning only privately owned aircrafts could land there. The move means no chartered jets, no helicopters that sell seats

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
