More details unfolded today, regarding the law suit filed by Linden Airport Management Corp. against the EDC. Linden's suit is claiming that the contract to operate the South Street heliport was awarded unfairly to FirstFlight. The Star Ledger published an article today, in which Paul Dudley the director of Linden Airport in NJ decribed the circumsatances giving rise to the suit. Dudley claims that Linden Airport Management Corp. submitted the most competitive bid for the South Street heliport, and that they should have been awarded the contract. According to Dudley, the EDC held a secret second round of bidding, in which FirstFlight outbid Linden and was awarded the contract. Dudley is particularly concerned by the fact that Alvin Trenk, the operator of the controversial West 30th Street heliport, is listed as one of the directors of FirstFlight. Dudley claims that Air Pegasus, also operated by Trenk gave favorable rates to certain groups at the 30th Street heliport. Other NY helicopter operators accuse Trenk of forcing them out of the 30th street heliport to eliminate competition for the sight seeing flights. Concerns have been raised that Trenk will employ the same alleged practices at South Street, under FirstFlight controlled management. According to The Star Ledger, Linden's attorney described the conditions surrounding the bidding as "decidedly not a level playing field."
