Key Takeaways:

The city of Santa Monica last week filed unlawful detainer lawsuits against American Flyers and Atlantic Aviation, the two major FBOs at the Santa Monica Airport. The FBOs received 30-day eviction notices in September but have continued their business operations. The city’s lawsuits were filed one day after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant denied temporary restraining order requests from the FBOs to prevent the unlawful detainers, according to the Santa Monica Lookout.
