Summary
The FAA is thinking about letting the City of Malden sell a small 0.52-acre piece of land at Malden Regional Airport to the current tenant, Lion of Judah. This won’t affect airport operations, but the public has until January 5, 2026, to share their thoughts.

Sale of 0.52‑Acre Airport Parcel

The public may submit comments on this request until January 5, 2026, and the FAA may approve the sale no sooner than thirty days after the notice was published on December 5, 2025.
