Item 81 Bar Harbor Airlines Lease Renewal. The Airport Manager explained to the
Committee members that this was a lease renewal covering landing fees, tent,
and terminal user fees in the terminal building. This lease was negotiated
with Bar Harbor Airlines for a 26 -month period in order for the date to coincide
with other airline leasee. The Committee voted unanimously to approve this
lease renewal.
Item 92 Bangor International Airlines Lease Renewal. Me Airport Manager prefaced
his remarks by informing the Committee that Nie agenda item was for discussion and
planning purposes only and that no action would be taken on this matter at this meeting.
He then briefed the Committee members on the background of Bangor International Airlines
and explained that their lease for office and counter apace in the terminal had expired
and that they are requesting renewal of the lease. The Airport Manager explained there
is a shortage of existing airline space and that United Airlines representatives have
been In Bangor recently and are interested in operating westbound flights out of Bangor
,to Chicago. In order for United to offer service out of Bangor, they would need counter
apace on an outside well in order that baggage is handled expeditiously. The Committee
then discussed whether a policy decision should be made regarding the beet use of apace
(Minutes continued)
and what 1s in the best interest of the public. The question raised by the Staff
is whether Bangor International Airlines is actually operating a scheduled service
at the airport. I£ determined they are not operating a scheduled service, it was
felt the airline should not be permitted to lease the counter as they are not meeting
airport standards. The Committee then toured the terminal area where the office and
anter Space is used by the airlines and other alternatives were diecussed after
viewing the area. Before making a decision on this lease renewal, the Committee
will meet with the owner of Bangor International Airlines at their next scheduled meeting.
