[FoxBusiness] The lawsuit targets the two airlines claiming they "operate about 80% of flights at Sea-Tac Airport, thereby causing most of the pollution"
A class action lawsuit against Alaska Air Group and Delta Air Lines about the effects of aircraft emissions near the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is moving forward as plaintiffs allege that pollution has caused physical harm, death and property damage.
The lawsuit was allowed to move forward after a Seattle federal judge rejected the airlines' bid to have claims from Washington residents tossed, according to court documents.
Residents in the lawsuit described a five-mile radius around the airport as a "contamination zone."
