Airport operations steady; Jet A fuel drives most revenue
Summary
The airport director reported modest changes in operations year-over-year and emphasized Jet A sales as the primary revenue source, with enplanement shifts among carriers (Redtail up, Contour down).
At the director's report, staff said overall operations were slightly below last year in some metrics but not markedly different, and highlighted that Jet A fuel accounts for the largest share of fuel revenue. "JetFuel is really really kinda where the money is for the airport," the director said, noting sample figures in the monthly report that showed Avgas receipts in the low thousands versus Jet A receipts substantially higher.
Staff also briefed the board on carrier trends: Redtail enplanements were up from the prior year while Contour's enplanements had declined; staff said those numbers are expected to change as temperatures and seasonal demand shift. The director said some cancellations occurred but that larger service and seasonal adjustments should drive recovery later in the year.
