Summary
Airport staff reported first-quarter FY26 figures showing roughly even operations year-over-year, Jet A fuel sales up about 12% and operating revenue near $2 million; staff briefed the council on Sky Harbor hangar developments, Taxiway Bravo phases, the Good Neighbor noise program and World Cup planning.
The Addison Airport presented its FY26 first-quarter report to the City Council on April 7, covering recent accomplishments, operations statistics, revenue and ongoing projects.
Jamie (airport presenter) said the airport had completed Sky Harbor Phase 1 (six executive hangars totaling about 100,000 square feet), extended Taxiway Bravo to the north in Phase 1 and has Sky Harbor Phase 2 and Taxway Bravo Phase 2 design work scheduled for FY26 with construction planned in subsequent fiscal years. He said a Ryza hangar and other private development projects are underway and that redevelopment opportunities on five acres on the west side are being prepared for future solicitation.
On operations, staff reported total first-quarter operations of about 32,444 (VFR operations numerically greater than IFR at present) and said international flights remain strong: 166 international flights cleared customs in Q1, carrying 926 passengers and 356 crew members. Fuel flowage was reported at just over 2.5 million gallons; Jet A was up roughly 12.3% year-over-year (about +260,000 gallons), while avgas was down about 7.8% (approximately -12,000 gallons). Operating revenue for the quarter was nearly $2 million, of which 77% came from leases and about 19% from fuel flowage fees.
Jamie also described the Good Neighbor initiative, which tracks aircraft that penetrate a designated noise-sensitive area using ADS-B data via a vendor (1,200 Aero). The airport provides weekly performance reports to flight schools and follows up with operators. Staff said they are expanding outreach to FBOs and considering postcards, rental-car inserts and other tenant-facing outreach to raise awareness of noise-abatement procedures.
Council members asked about Taxiway Bravo Phase 3 timing and capacity for larger jets; staff said Phase 2 design is in FY26 with construction in FY27 and Phase 3 design in FY28, explaining Phase 3 will relocate the taxiway to improve wingtip clearance for larger aircraft. On financials, staff said the airport fund is self-supporting on the reported operating-revenue categories but noted that sales tax and property tax revenue associated with private development flow to the general fund rather than the airport fund.
Jamie said airport staff are preparing for major events (including World Cup-related traffic) and will coordinate extra parking and FBO support; he also asked that council members review a companion quarterly financial report covering detailed expenses and revenues.
Council thanked airport staff for the report and for the Good Neighbor initiative work on noise and community outreach.
