TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2003 The Supreme Court on Monday declined to review Clinton-era regulations that limit air flights over the Grand Canyon. The move lets stand an appeals court ruling that limits the total number of air tours over tribal land and sacred sites. The Havasupai Tribe, whose members reside at the bottom of Grand Canyon, supports the limits, as do environmentalists. The air tour industry opposes them. The industry also opposed part of the law that allows the Hualapai Tribe, which participated in the case, to allow a limited tour over reservation land. Get the Story:
