Airport Manager Rick Tetrev presented operational figures and other updates to the Wiscasset Municipal Airport Advisory Committee on March 18.
Tetrev reported that January Avgas (100LL) sales totaled $3,043.44, equal to 521.14 gallons; Jet‑A sales were recorded at $0.00 for the reporting period. He said the airport purchased 500 gallons of Jet‑A to refresh the tank, leaving 1,787.69 gallons in inventory going forward. The transcript lists retail prices at $5.84 per gallon for Avgas and $4.69 per gallon for Jet‑A.
On activity, the committee was told February flight operations numbered 138, up from 119 in January. Tetrev also reported that one town employee and one town resident have completed the state training required to cull the airport deer herd, which the committee recorded under general operations.
Committee members raised concern that frequent winter storms increased snow‑removal expenses, placing added strain on the airport budget. The meeting minutes record that snow‑removal costs have taxed the budget but do not show a formal motion or budget decision at this session.
The committee set its next regular meeting for April 15, 2026.
