Why it matters: Rising passenger counts have increased demand for parking and concessions and are shaping short-term operational decisions as the airport heads into the summer travel season.

Concessions and accessibility: Staff said several new concessions are opening soon. Named outlets include Sawtooth Essentials and Tree Fort (by the security checkpoint), Tap House, Waffle Me Up and others in the food court area; some top-three concession proposals are at city permitting. Staff also said the airport added visual paging capability for display of flight information and gate changes at boarding gates, and that the airport and Boise Public Library are now listed on a national universal-changing-table map, making Boise one of two locations in Idaho on that listing.

Community events and honors: Staff announced a June 20 presentation of a \"fallen soldier cart,\" an item donated by Alaska Airlines maintenance staff to support dignified transfer of military remains; staff said they will attend the June 20 presentation. Staff also described a recent Urban Land Institute tour and a Mother's Day passenger event organized by nonprofit Boise Nice that distributed 375 flowers.

Personnel and promotions: Staff recognized internal promotions and hires: Bryce Nelson was promoted to operations supervisor, and an intern, Maswari Ramesh, will join engineering for the summer while studying aviation and aerospace management at Middle Tennessee State University. The commission also recognized longtime employees including Amy Snyder (30 years) and Dan Bean (20 years).

Finance snapshot: Staff said year-to-date revenue was up about 13% year over year and expenses were up 13% as well. Signatory airline landing fees were cited as up 38%, and other tenant/contract revenues were also reported as higher; staff attributed the changes to contract adjustments and higher passenger volumes.

Ending: Directors asked commissioners to note the operational impacts of higher passenger counts (including fuller parking facilities) and thanked staff for coordinating recent outreach and accessibility improvements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boise Airport Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Airport directors told the commission passenger traffic is up 9% year-to-date, concessions openings are forthcoming, staff promotions and an intern hire were announced, and the airport will host a June 20 fallen soldier cart presentation.","taxTitle","Boise City, Boise, Ada County, Idaho","taxId",8706,"location","Idaho","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6547885,"Boise Airport to allow Turo peer-to-peer carsharing on site; curb transfers prohibited",37,1061000,1098000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3656550-24ed26a9ba3e44d749e231f2b2ca1dff&start=1061&end=1098","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3656550-24ed26a9ba3e44d749e231f2b2ca1dff/thumbnail_1061000.jpg","/articles/6547885/Idaho/Boise-Airport-to-allow-Turo-peer-to-peer-carsharing-on-site-curb-transfers-prohibited","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547885-e4794f905735a43ba876cfc25b5e01e2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448355&Signature=BjfqwVxgW0iQ9bQeCavHfjPeaE7PERXjON3LcJm-YwZfp-961eZachetu~ZNiVQXbgLlYfTm2hOTI-IZ38n52-p9RgOhTvAnui2h0MBHnYTtdwQlSgsk5XLtzzy4X8dQjYCa73KEPSpXr8MrPAdevFWuZedG53XhxErzO9ZZmEJsIEGZSLio3X3Da8MwBHWSnbr2X4-h3TXduHrs1CTbBeIXR7YZVuWbCRJ6Kgs~GX40rAImg53CC4siqxYRiOABHitK4ILTw3FZk1cUjzvc-ZN0KPu3FlI943jC7Tno3uvojQfuIKuJsF6yIVgEmFhmNb467SHEycC93p9WEiMvHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boise Airport is permitting peer-to-peer carsharing operator Turo to operate on airport property, and the airport will receive 10% of gross revenues from on-site rentals, staff told the commission on June 4.

Sean, an airport staff member who briefed commissioners, said the city council has approved the agreement and the mayor has signed or will sign the implementing documents. \"For those of you that are unaware of what Turo is, it's peer to peer car sharing or simply put it's an Airbnb for vehicles,\" Sean said.

The airport said vehicles associated with Turo may park in any public parking facilities and will be subject to the facility parking fees when the vehicles exit. The airport is prohibiting transfers directly on the curb to reduce curb congestion; staff said that restriction is intended to limit loading activity at the curb and to keep short-term curb space available for traditional ride-hailing and scheduled airline traffic.

Why it matters: the airport will receive a new revenue stream tied to Turo gross receipts and parking fees, while seeking to manage curb congestion that affects passenger flow.

Details provided: staff said parking fees apply when vehicles exit and the airport will collect 10% of gross revenues generated by on-site Turo activity. Staff also said some airports see a surge of activity in the first month after an agreement is implemented; airport staff said they are monitoring the first month's activity.

Ending: staff said the no-curb-transfer rule is intended to reduce curb congestion and that staff look forward to seeing activity levels in the initial operation period.","Airport staff said city council approved an agreement to permit Turo operations at the airport, with the airport receiving 10% of on-site gross revenues and a prohibition on curb-side vehicle transfers to reduce congestion.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6547889,"Boise Airport outlines IT master plan to support passenger experience and operational growth",820,1728000,2548000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3656550-24ed26a9ba3e44d749e231f2b2ca1dff&start=1728&end=2548","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3656550-24ed26a9ba3e44d749e231f2b2ca1dff/thumbnail_1728000.jpg","/articles/6547889/Idaho/Boise-Airport-outlines-IT-master-plan-to-support-passenger-experience-and-operational-growth","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547889-d6b103557f07d2165ced81af138d49db/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448356&Signature=lNy1RdmJCgi4bjp2P-musMhYPmRUpmuCyNUE8mJ1QQ5CTzc8l63j2psV6lWUvx2wykRyEUEzwn07f~rjTw5rxdbzISJ4L7C26ITI4cfmTrolvUg10skHDvs6UvehxJvLdVKgdzkk~tkr~q~z1DSSxpr9XYlbDvuIHouG4olPyz5VAdyIpYbgk4NvqctKmumK1B1tVlU9-EFEhN9HlAIfePquhVNS0gHzCpkHaIncccMpRQH5-SiRQ0sSmb4~dAl0pVGNaAbr2eobPNNY1JLU-iqLqNn~3KWGlpNCxfTxV5oXT14LB9NRtfnMmxk~r7l5erAAYfo3~bYQLeEBKKgOLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jamie Daniel, the airport's IT business relationship manager, presented a near-final IT master plan at the June 4 Boise Airport Commission meeting that maps technology investments intended to support passenger experience and operational growth.

Daniel described the plan, developed with consultant JWG (JW Group), as a strategic road map that aligns technology with airport business objectives and said the final master plan, road map and project plan should be delivered this month with an executive presentation \"in the next month, month and a half,\" depending on schedules.

Why it matters: staff said the airport is growing and will need technology to scale operations, support a new concourse, reduce manual administrative work and provide real-time passenger information.

Key points from the presentation: the plan centers on four strategic areas'enhancing passenger experience; enhancing employee and stakeholder experience; operational excellence; and establishing an innovative culture. Daniel said the team held current-state and future-state workshops with more than 40 stakeholders, performed a gap analysis, and developed prioritized initiatives and a sequencing road map that will include funding estimates and timing.

Projects already underway or in pilot stages include a common-use passenger processing pilot (which would let multiple airlines use the same ticket counters and gates) with an RFP expected this month or next, and implementation of a project management information system for engineering and planning teams. The plan also recommends building a central data warehouse and data-management tools to enable data-driven decisions, Daniel said.

Daniel described an organizational maturity assessment that rates the airport's IT as a \"trusted operator\" today with a goal to reach the \"business partner\" level next year. The assessment informed recommended changes such as establishing technology governance and a data strategy.

Commissioners asked about funding and delivery methods for customer-facing tools. Daniel said prioritization and funding decisions will be made through airport governance: deputy directors will help prioritize projects, the airport director will approve them, and staff will brief the commission. On delivery, Daniel said pilots and industry experience suggest real-time website information and targeted SMS messages (noting that native mobile apps do not always achieve broad adoption) are promising ways to deliver passenger-facing alerts and parking/queue information.

Ending: Daniel said the IT plan will be a living document and staff will align it with the airport master plan and other strategic planning. \"This is the Boise Airport's technology plan,\" she said, \"and we've had great engagement from the team.\"","The airport's IT business relationship manager presented a near-final IT master plan focused on passenger experience, operational excellence, data-driven decision making and an innovation program; deliverables are expected this month and projects will be prioritized against capital work such as the concourse program.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6547892,"Boise Airport advances concourse and airfield projects as construction and cost work continue",818,229000,1047000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3656550-24ed26a9ba3e44d749e231f2b2ca1dff&start=229&end=1047","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3656550-24ed26a9ba3e44d749e231f2b2ca1dff/thumbnail_229000.jpg","/articles/6547892/Idaho/Boise-Airport-advances-concourse-and-airfield-projects-as-construction-and-cost-work-continue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547892-8c9bec3caa5db482108805364730d1a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448356&Signature=olKMuLRs~Vkl8xfdCcWa8lmnY5WHHjJSxSispuW1Oa7B9ZUXQj2bjzvw2-6aoHuX5RMW4~Iqb~~ZlO16OUpt7kUzFoVvF2r1hNHM~xrFZwpoVj6jHzJHvAPH1mN4K~4CRuJa7j54uuMvG-VaKsIHiDqks03SCWPhUMssYdUjlrkmUafpunuXtxUPktoiIoqbzD7FNJuDoPJr1prP~BD8v9y27M5nz1eVS87rfcj8Pn3Q3UoRnSOU4CQAmIhQYo9pmdjDsJlub1qkW-fKDPpvKeQBEPX5baPieZqV3GNIQ2OYFw9Y9So80bP94xdlcHMBbhMw6uVGLqFkNIAejK8MBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Airport staff reported at the June 4 Boise Airport Commission meeting that multiple construction projects tied to the airport's terminal and airfield remain on schedule and are moving into visible construction phases.

The airport said crews will finish the last concrete pour on the consolidated rental car facility's shared level \"tomorrow,\" and a topping-off ceremony is planned to mark the parking garage milestone. \"So there should be quicker turnarounds in terms of kind of restocking the vehicles on all the floors,\" a staff member said.

Why it matters: the projects are part of the airport's larger Concourse Development and Terminal Improvements program that staff said will increase aircraft parking, parking capacity for rental cars and passenger flow between baggage claim and rental car pick-up.

Details staff reported: the airport selected Oshkosh Aerotech as the lowest bidder for new passenger boarding bridges; staff will navigate the contract in the next month and then seek city council approval and the mayor's signature this summer. The airport has completed interviews for a construction manager; staff expected to meet after the commission meeting and hoped to issue a notice of intent to award by the end of the week. The formal award will go to city council in August for approval and signature by the mayor, staff said.

Staff described the current cost-estimating work as a two-package effort: Package A focuses on Concourse A, including a package handling system and related utilities; a second, higher-level package looks at potential replacement or reconstruction of Concourse B and associated baggage and utility work. Two independent cost-estimating firms are working on the packages, and staff said a June workshop will help refine what stays in the project scope.

On the airfield, staff reported the de-icing apron expansion on the airfield's northeast corner (near customs and border protection) is about halfway complete and is expected to open in July. The new apron will provide three overnight parking spots for larger aircraft and additional room for regional jets. Work on the Concourse A apron has reached underground utility and base course stages; staff said concrete paving should begin within \"the next week or two.\" Staff said these apron investments respond to airline requests for parking and operational needs.

Other construction and planning notes included a general aviation aeronautical development RFP for roughly 5.5 acres on the southeast airfield (two sites that proposers may bid on individually or together); an ongoing Simplot hangar private development expected to finish this year; and a master plan contract that will have an internal kickoff June 23 and more public updates likely in August.

Commissioners asked how procurement decisions will be finalized; staff said the airport evaluates firms and recommends selections to city council, which has final approval and will sign contracts.

Ending: staff emphasized that, while some milestones are ceremonial (topping-off events), the work is producing visible construction progress and that multiple procurement and cost-estimating steps remain before the larger design and construction contracts are executed.","Airport staff reported progress on the consolidated rental car facility, passenger boarding bridge procurement, de‑icing apron expansion and preparatory work for a future Concourse A; cost estimating and construction manager selection are underway ahead of council approvals.","actionData","errors"]
