    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that the infrastructure associated with the Klawock, Alaska Seaplane Base has been permanently closed. This decision follows a notice from the Alaska Department of Transportation, which indicates that the seaplane dock became unusable after its ownership was transferred to the City of Klawock in 2003. The FAA is making this closure retroactive as per regulations. For more details, Molly Fierro from the FAA's Alaskan Region is the contact person.

    Simple Explanation

    The government announced that the place where seaplanes used to land in Klawock, Alaska is closed because the landing area isn't good to use anymore. They decided this after some changes in who owned the place, but they didn't say much about why it couldn't be used after that.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received a notice from the Alaska Department of Transportation indicating the permanent closure of the Haines, Alaska Seaplane Base (3Z9). The infrastructure for the seaplane base had been transferred to the City of Haines, and due to harbor expansion, it is no longer possible to host floatplane traffic. The closure is effective retroactively, and the FAA is releasing this notice in accordance with federal regulations.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants everyone to know that the place in Haines, Alaska, where special planes called seaplanes used to land on water, is now closed for good because the harbor has been changed and can't fit the planes anymore. They got a message from Alaska's transportation people saying this, and now it's official.
