Domestic Air Service – ACI/Jumpstart Briefing Marketing Manager Aimee Thibodeau updated the Committee on her recent trip to the Annual ACI/Jumpstart Conference, which provides opportunities for Airports to meet one-on-one with airlines. We had five meetings this year; two of which were with existing carriers serving BGR. We had good conversations with two carriers not currently serving BGR and a cargo carrier. 4. Airport Statistics – May 2019 Marketing Manager Aimee Thibodeau reported that we are seeing an increasing trend. We are only about 500 passengers below our May, 2018 total, and significantly above the 5-year monthly average. Summer bookings look good. Load factors are strong for all airlines. . Military traffic continues to be up, and our DOD fuel sales reflect that. Meeting Adjourned.
