The union argues that the arch’s placement on the final approach path may interfere with pilots’ visibility or disrupt standard flight procedures. Aviation safety experts have previously highlighted the importance of unobstructed approach corridors to prevent accidents. The union’s statement underscores growing tensions between symbolic projects and operational safety in airport environments.
