Yes. Many times, a government entity is responsible for airport operations or other aviation-related functions. The federal government can be sued for negligence in relation to its oversight of aviation operations under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Depending on the state, county and state governments and municipal corporations may be immune from suit for airport operations.
