The town of Islip is a big problem. Noise complaints are a big issue as well. Mostly, because of a rise in parking charges, ISP was no longer in competition with JFK and LGA. Islip was booming in the 80s and 90s. Eastern, Piedmont (the old really great carrier not that joke it is now) United, American, Delta and USAir, all served ISP. Maybe Elite will revive it.
