Council approves up to $253,572 minimum revenue guarantee to support commercial air service
Summary
City Council approved a minimum revenue guarantee (MRG) agreement for the Cheyenne Regional Airport for fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, authorizing up to $253,572 as the city’s maximum contribution toward an MRG to maintain commercial air service.
Cheyenne City Council on June 23 authorized a minimum revenue guarantee (MRG) payment not to exceed $253,572 to support scheduled commercial air service at the Cheyenne Regional Airport for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Mayor Collins explained that smaller communities often enter into MRG agreements to ensure airline service viability; the city partners with the county and state on that guarantee.
Councilmembers voiced support for maintaining air service and asked airport leadership to maintain the airport’s appearance and amenities because the terminal area is the gateway for visitors. Councilmembers said they expect the airport to address landscaping and litter concerns along Airport Parkway and at key entry corners.
The finance committee recommended approval and the council approved the agreement. The city’s share is part of a wider funding partnership to preserve commercial flights into Cheyenne; the motion authorized the city’s payment up to the stated maximum.
