Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman said he will testify Wednesday in support of a bill creating a commission to study the health and environmental impacts of Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Since the 2015 implementation of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Next Generation Air Transportation System, which allows for more flights in the air by guiding planes with satellite instead of radar, the noise for nearby communities has gotten worse, he said.
