“I am deeply troubled by [Delaware North’s] lack of response and refusal to talk to the media on this issue which places an incredible burden on the NFTA,” Minkel wrote.

One week after a New York state airport became the second major travel hub this year to ban Chick-fil-A from opening a franchise, the authority that owns and operates that airport is reportedly not thrilled that it was blamed for a decision it did not make.

According to a new report from The Buffalo News, the decision to bar Chick-fil-A from the airport was not made or approved by NFTA. Rather, it was made by a company called Delaware North that has provided concession services to Buffalo Niagara for more than 65 years. The letter described Delaware North’s apparent failure to respond to media requests for comment"unacceptable."

WKBW-TV in Buffalo reported this weekend that NFTA will meet with Delaware North on Monday to discuss the Chick-fil-A situation. It is not known whether this meeting could result in the chain's airport location being reinstituted. NFTA has not yet responded to a Newsweek email seeking comment.

Chick-fil-A has excellent food and service. They must have 15+ people working each shift. Courteous too.

Good. I hope chick filet goes out of business. If they can't serve everybody they don't need to serve anybody. The religious right are now the American taliban.

Good that ChickfilA is banned
