The Federal Government controls laws that regulate air navigation. Under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, Congress created the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and empowered the FAA to oversee and regulate safety in the airline industry in American airspace by both civilian and military aircraft.  The Act excludes local or state governments from enacting or enforcing any rule, law, standard, regulation, or other provision relating to routes, rates or services of any air carrier operating interstate authorized under the Act.
However, the Act does not limit State, political subdivision of State, or political authority of one that owns or operates an airport of their proprietary powers and rights.[1]
