tary William Coleman for a 16-
month test.
Concorde interests went to
court to overturn the Port Au-
thority ban here, claiming fed-
eral commitments pre-empted
the powers of the regional
agency.
A PORT AUTHORITY spokes-
person said after announcement
of the decision that the agency
would have no comment until
lawyers studied the ruling and
decided whether to appeal.
The Port Authority is a bi-
state agency which owns and
operates major airports and
other transportation facilities in
the New York City - northern
New Jersey area.
French Transport Secretary
Marcel Cavaille hailed with
"great joy" the decision of the
judge.
"MY REACTION to the Con-
corde decision is one of great
satisfaction and great joy," he
said.
Answering a question on the
Concorde at a news conference,
Cavaille said "this is the deci-
sion we had hoped for. It is
clear that all barriers are il-
legal. That is exactly what the
French government, and Air
France and British Airways, al-
ways maintained.
"We believe the rioute is now
open and the most difficult part
of the battle is over.
"CONCORDE HAS already
triumphed over other obstacles.
In a few days Air France hopes
to work out the details of land-
ing in New York as soon as pos-
sible."
Concorde landings at Kenne-
dy have been strongly opposed
by residents of Queens and Nas-
sau counties who live near the
airport. Several weeks ago they
staged a demonstration attempt-
ing to tie up auto traffic at
Kennedy to show their opposi-
tion.
"We're going to be inconven-
ienced for the rest of our lives
if they let that plane come in,"
said Saul Ginsberg, one of the
anti-Concorde leaders.
The lucrative route to New
York is crucial to British Air-
ways and Air France, who con-
cede losing $54 million on the
Concorde in the first year of
the SST's operations.
The jet, which was developed
ly by the British and French
jointly by the British and
French, is capable of crossing
the Atlantic Ocean in less than
four hours. it carries 100 pas-
sengers.
U.S. DIST. JUDGE MILTON POLLACK granted a request yesterday by British Airways and Air France to lift the temporary
ban ordered by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on landing at Kennedy Airport of the Concorde supersonic
airliner. The judge did not order that the planes immediately be allowed to start landing at Kennedy Airport.
