  • Air transportation facilities: shall mean aircraft and developments such as airports, air terminals, runways, hangars, control towers, ramps, taxiways, aprons, wharves, bulkheads, buildings, structures, equipment, parking areas, improvements, facilities and any real property necessary, convenient or desirable for or relating to the landing, taking off, accommodation and servicing of aircraft, or for the loading, unloading, interchange or transfer of passengers, baggage or cargo, or otherwise for the accommodation, use or convenience of passengers, carriers, crews and employees. See N.Y. Transportation Law 400

See N.Y. Transportation Law 400
  • Aircraft: shall mean aircraft of all types, including but not limited to airplanes, airships, dirigibles, helicopters, gliders, seaplanes, or any other contrivance now or hereafter used for the navigation of or flight in air or space. See N.Y. Transportation Law 400

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
