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.

No, failure to comply with a contract condiction (rental agreement) is not a "taking".

Taking is a legal term that means property was seized improperly or with out the owners permission.

Leaving aircraft owners with a usable aircraft is also NOT a taking. The city did not seize the aircraft.

Perhaps a nit pick on terminology
