In the acquisition of property by eminent domain proceedings authorized by this chapter, an
airport authority shall proceed in the manner provided by chapter 32-15 and other applicable

examinations related to eminent domain proceedings as long as doing so results in no
unnecessary damage. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute, an authority may
take possession of any property to be acquired by eminent domain proceedings at any time
after the commencement of the proceedings. The authority may abandon the proceedings at
any time before final order and decree of the court having jurisdiction of the proceedings,
provided the authority is liable to the owner of the property for any damage done to the property
during possession by the authority.
