Please explain how this was an "illegal taking".
Property in question belongs to the city (y/n)?
Run ways in question belong to the the city (y/n)?
Granted the owners of any aircraft stranded at the airport might have a claim for the fair market value of the aircraft or costs for relocating their aircraft.
Those who have rented facilities at the airfield could also be due compensation if the action violated any contractal terms.
But I still fail to see where there was a taking of anything.

Aircraft owners paid for space to park their aircraft. There's been no word that they will be refunded their rental fees. That, at minimum, is a unjust taking.
Plus the aircraft owners are without use of their aircraft for a long period. That, also, is a unjust taking.

Please see fifth amendment takings clause and case law doctrine on constructive takings from SCOTUS, inter alia.
