Meeting Minutes

Councilors Nelson Durgin, David Nealley, Gibran Graham, Joseph Perry, Sarah Nichols, and

Tony Caruso.
Agenda:
1. Domestic airline use & lease agreements.
Airport Director Tony Caruso indicated that the Use and Lease agreements with the domestic
air carriers at Bangor International Airport (BGR) have all expired in 2006. They have been
operating on a year-to-year basis, and the rates and charges in effect since 2006 have remained
unchanged. The domestic terminal renovation project has allowed the Airport an opportunity
to update the air carrier agreement and properly adjust rates and fees. If approved, this will
authorize the City Manager to execute 5 year Use & Lease agreements with the domestic air
carriers. Some of the major changes to the new agreements include adjusted rates and fees,
identifies each air carriers’ new exclusive use space, adds language for affirmative action and
nondiscrimination compliance, and requires that the air carriers comply with all applicable
airport rules and policies. The airlines include, American, Delta, Allegiant and United Airlines.
This will increase our revenue approximately by $200,000.
Motion to approve by Councilor Durgin and seconded by Councilor Nichols.
Questions/Comments
Councilor Graham asked about monthly stats update. Airport Director Caruso indicated that he
will have the numbers for the August meeting, but indicated that according to trends domestic
passenger figures are off slightly from last year by 2-3%, operations are increasing by 5%, and
the fuel sales trend is up over 50% mainly due to the increase of Military (DOD) traffic.
