Date: May 11, 2015
Item/Subject: Resolve, Accepting and Appropriating $3,000,000 in passenger facility charges (PFC's)
through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the domestic terminal building renovations project,
phase 2, at the Bangor International Airport.
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: The Airport is requesting authorization to accept and appropriate $3,000,000 in
passenger facility charges (PFC's) through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the domestic
terminal renovation project, phase 2, at the Bangor International Airport. The Passenger Facility Charge
(RFC) Program allows the collection of PFC fees up to $4.50 for every enplaned passenger at commercial
airports controlled by public agencies. Airports use these fees to fund FAA -approved projects that
enhance safety, security, or capacity; reduce noise; or increase air carrier competition. This phase of the
project includes constructing an enclosed, temperature controlled, common use baggage make-up work
area for the airlines. This phase also includes further renovations to the front wall of the terminal, and
new flight information display systems. Staff recommends approval.
