If a governmental entity transfers operational jurisdiction over an airport to an authority under this section, the authority shall not sell or transfer any property of the governmental entity without the consent of the governmental entity that provided the transfer of operational jurisdiction under this section. An authority that operates a qualified airport shall not operate an airport that is located in a city having a population of more than 750,000.
