Agenda:
1. Airport statistic-May and June.
Marketing Director Bahr indicated that the domestic passenger stats are flat and steady. The
month of May YTD was down by 10% and the month of June up by 15.7%. Load factors are
strong, for the month of May- Allegiant 85%, Delta 77%, and American 70%. For the month of
June, Allegiant 85%, Delta 795, United 92% and American 79%. Market share for the month of
May, Allegiant 15%, Delta 39%, and American 46%. For the month of June, Allegiant 13%, Delta
38%, United 6%, and American 46%. Airport Director Caruso indicated that the fuel trends are
positive. For the month of May total operations are up by 6%, for the month of June up by 7%.
Military operations for the month of May were up by 7% and month of June, up by 11%. The
DOD for the month of May was up by 819.8% and month of June up by 917.1%. This is due to
the fact that we are now covering the Air Guard shifts with weekends and midnights when
there is no guard weekends. We have been successful in working with Washington to secure
more military traffic through American airports vs. Canadian.
2. Airport construction updates.
The domestic terminal transformation has resulted in positive comments. Our terminal went
from being a dark terminal to much brighter by adding natural lighting. We have new
wayfinding and signage, and more standard features throughout the terminal. We have
completed the front of the terminal and renamed the terminal in honor of previous Director
D’Errico. We even have finally a sign on the front of the terminal! Our next project will be
updated the second floor of the terminal and doing some cosmetic work. We will be expanding
the gate 3 passenger boarding to increase space for the hold room and install a new Jetway.
The Sheridan Corporation has been awarded this bid!
