(7) Approval of March 2022 Financial and Statistical Reports
Passenger traffic is increasing and is currently better than 2020 and 2021. Parking lot revenues
are also better than and above 2020 and 2021. Car rentals have also increased again and continue
to trend upward and above prior years, although the specific reasons aren’t yet known. Total air
traffic counts are also improving. Avgas sales are not quite as good as 2021, but not many people
buy Avgas at the airport. Jet A sales are currently not as good as 2021. Various P/L statements
were reviewed by the Board and questions regarding them were answered by the Executive
Director.
Having heard these reports and received this information Director Davis moved to approve them,
seconded by Director Goodwin; passed by unanimous voice acclamation without opposition.
(8) Executive Director’s Report
(a) Air Service Update
The Executive Director and others have been engaged in talking any and all possible carriers from
across the country regarding the provision of air service at the Airport, and specifically regarding the
Essential Air Service program. All 28 EAS Airport that are subject to the pending changes were granted
a 30-day deadline to receive new/additional applications, and the new deadline is May 11. Upon
receiving any applications, the Airport will then have 30 days to review. At the moment, the Airport
doesn’t know which carriers might submit applications, but there is some reason for optimism.
Whatever the outcome, there will not be a window where there is no service at the Airport, as
SkyWest must stay until another carrier takes over.
(b) BIL Grant Application for Terminal Project
This application has been submitted, which, if granted and received, may cover some funds/money
for the terminal project that will not have to be covered by the City of Paducah or McCracken County.
(c) Midwest Aviation Roof
Nothing reported or updated.
(d) Sanitary Sewer Extension Project
To recap, the FAA was supposed to provide funding for this project but a change in the program
manager has made this difficult. At present, the FAA has indicated it will only pay for sewer directly
tied to the new terminal project and on airport property and will not pay for items with the right-of-
way and will not pay for hangars tied into the new line.
