Aerospace, LLC affiliated company, C&L Engine Solutions, LLC. This agreement
acknowledges the bank’s interest in the new company’s personal property.
Motion made, seconded and approved.
2. Airport Statistics – July
Marketing Manager Aimee Thibodeau distributed the July Statistical Reports for July. Total
monthly passengers up 12% over our 5-year average and YTD passengers up 26.8% over our 5-
year average.
Delta load factors continue to be lower than other carriers. We have had conversations with
them, and they may be making adjustments to their service. Lower load factor might be due to
use of larger planes and reduced passenger loads on JFK flights.
Total Operations are down slightly, with international landings down 30% and General Aviation
operations down 13%. Fuel sales are down slightly but mirror reduction in landings.
