Airport May Not Get Security Screeners
Federal Homeland Security officials said this week they can’t promise security screening at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport -- a crucial hitch that could delay the return of commercial air service.
Horizon Air had planned daily flights from Santa Rosa to Los Angeles and Seattle starting in March.
But the carrier cannot begin the service without security screeners to inspect baggage and search passengers.
Sonoma County officials said Monday they’re considering several options, including hiring private screeners and enlisting the county’s congressional delegation to push for federal security officers.
