Where an airport is privately-owned but its facilities are open to the public, and the airport, landing field or other aeronautical facility is determined to be public in character and use, the order to abate hazards of the commission shall be served upon both the owner and the political subdivision having jurisdiction in the area upon which the airport, landing field or other aeronautical facility is established.
