Over the Air Reception Devices (Continental Airlines)

This document addresses a Petition for Declaratory Ruling filed by Continental Airlines, Inc. (Continental) pertaining to the installation and use of a Wi-Fi antenna within its lounge at Boston- Logan International Airport (Logan Airport). Continental claims that the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), the owner of Logan Airport, has demanded that Continental remove its Wi-Fi antenna, and that such restrictions are prohibited by the Commission's Over-the-Air Reception Devices (OTARD) rules. The Commission finds that Massport's restrictions on Continental's use of its Wi-Fi antenna are pre-empted by the OTARD rules and it grants Continental's petition.
