Board recommends five-year SkyWest lease under same terms as American

Abilene Regional Airport Development Board · March 11, 2026

Summary

Staff said SkyWest accepted the same five-year terms negotiated with American Airlines with adjusted space and estimated about $2.02 million in five-year revenue; the board voted to recommend the lease to council by voice vote.

Don told the board he offered SkyWest the same five-year lease terms negotiated with American Airlines to ensure parity among carriers; SkyWest does not currently lease a garage area for deicing equipment but a bay exists if needed. He estimated the five-year revenue from SkyWest at about $2,018,351 and noted the income is new to the airport because no prior lease existed.

The board moved and recommended the SkyWest lease and operating agreement to council and approved the recommendation by voice vote. Don said staff will amend the lease if SkyWest later requests additional space such as a storage/garage bay for deicing equipment.
