Court won't stop canyon flights WASHINGTON (AP) - Environmental groups that want the government to act more quickly to reduce noise from sightseeing planes flying over the Grand Canyon lost a Supreme Court appeal Monday. The court, without comment, turned away the groups' argument that the government has failed to meet the legally required deadlines for reducing such aircraft noise. A 1987 federal law says Grand Canyon flights were "causing a significant adverse effect on the natural quiet and experience of the park" and also raised safety concerns. The law gave the Interior secretary 30 days to make recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration, which had another 90 days to issue a final plan to control air traffic over the canyon.
