Rich vs. very rich in Hamptons

It’s aerial class warfare Hamptons-style, pitting millionaires against billionaires.

The East Hampton Town Board announced Tuesday that it will close the municipality’s airport at the end of February. The plan is to reopen the airport a few days later under private control — with restrictions likely to limit its use to the ultrarich who own their own aircrafts.

Critics say the move will effectively leave average-Joe millionaires who don’t own aircraft in a lurch while catering to billionaires and addressing financial concerns.

A source with knowledge of the plan told The Post that the board is set to ban commercial flights at the “new” airport, meaning only privately owned aircrafts could land there. The move means no chartered jets, no helicopters that sell seats to individuals and no rented seaplanes.

The town wants to keep the airport open, at least in part so it can try to cash in on $10 million in leftover federal funds that were part of its operating agreement with the FAA.
