The town of Leesburg, Virginia, is keeping ATC services available at Leesburg Executive Airport (KJYO) with an FAA mobile tower that began operating on June 22 to replace a remote tower that is closing . The FAA is shutting down the uncertified remote tower operating at KJYO after eight years of development following Saab's decision not to complete system design review and withdrawing from the project. Saab has deployed more modern remote towers that are operating in other countries. Meanwhile, the FAA said it will pay for the mobile tower lease and controllers at KJYO through September.
