New York ( CNN ) -- Attorneys for the family of a 9/11 victim said they will push forward with a wrongful death lawsuit against United Airlines and a private security company despite a federal judge 's decision to dismiss the Massachusetts Port Authority from the suit . The lawsuit , originally filed in Manhattan federal court , alleges that Massport , United Airlines and security company Huntleigh USA were responsible for the security breaches that led to the death of Mark Bavis , 31 , who was aboard United Flight 175 when it crashed into the World Trade Center 's South Tower on September 11 , 2001 . Donald Migliori , an attorney for Bavis ' family , said that Wednesday 's dismissal of Massport -- the agency that owns and operates Boston Logan International Airport -- from the lawsuit was a disappointment , but that it narrows the case 's focus around security on the airplane itself . `` It will be very targeted to United Airlines , '' he said of the lawsuit . `` United failed wholesale at keeping the American public safe . '' The suit claims that security screeners at Logan International had trouble communicating in English , were unable to detect weapons such as the chemical spray Mace , and were operating under a general manager who was unaware of the al Qaeda terrorist threat . `` This was a tragic event and we are actively working to resolve this case , '' said United Airlines spokeswoman Megan McCarthy . From the start , the defendants have said they are not liable for the attacks . Massport filed a motion to dismiss in May , claiming that the Federal Aviation Administrations regulations for screening passengers and their baggage was the airline 's responsibility , not the airport 's . Massport was dismissed from the suit on Wednesday . `` The entire Logan airport community will forever carry in its heart the events of September 11 , 2001 , '' said Massport interim CEO David Mackey in a statement released after the dismissal . `` Our thoughts and prayers will always be with the victims of that tragic day and their families . '' The Bavis family is one of 96 families who opted not to settle through the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund , Migliori said . Their lawsuit , which is the last remaining suit brought by family members of 9/11 victims , was filed in 2002 . `` There are lessons that can be learned from this and they want those lessons to be viewed and not buried , '' Migliori said . The trial is set to start November 7 . CNN 's Sheila Steffen contributed to this report .
