Final rule.
Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that eliminates the designated Class E airspace surrounding Mason County Airport in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The change is being made because the airport’s instrument flight procedures have been cancelled, meaning the special airspace that supported those procedures is no longer needed. Removing the Class E airspace brings the region into line with current FAA standards and simplifies the overall airspace structure. The rule was published in the Federal Register on September 4, 2026 and will take effect on December 24, 2026. After that date, pilots and airlines that previously operated under the Class E designation in the area will follow the standard airspace rules that apply elsewhere. The FAA will monitor the transition and will update its charts and navigation databases to reflect the change.
