Jet A sales spike bolsters revenues; staff flags higher maintenance and labor costs
Summary
Staff reported Jet A sales of $329,000 (cost $172,000) and Avgas sales of $50,000 (cost $43,000), noting increased operations and higher contract labor and maintenance spending tied to inspection preparation and seasonal activity.
At the meeting, staff presented financials showing strong Jet A sales for the reporting period: "On Jet A, we did really well. Sold $329,000 and cost us some 172," a staff member reported. Avgas sales were reported at $50,000 (cost $43,000). Staff said June–July are normally slower months but that charter activity and larger aircraft have increased fuel volumes and revenue in the current year.
Board members asked how rising fuel prices and increased operations would affect next year’s budget. Staff said contract labor and increased maintenance for inspection readiness had raised expenses and that the authority expects to revisit rates and the budget in the next cycle. Staff also noted hangar rents provide a baseline revenue cushion that helps cover salaries if fuel sales fluctuate.
