To see how much the city is projected to lose one just needs to look at the airport master plan. The citys own consultant estimates losses of hundreds of thousands per year thru 2020. That equals 3.4 million.

:dunno:ERRR, Yup, What he said. I guess the Congressman /staffer who wrote it went to public school just like me. LOL:lol:
Just call you Rep. and ask them to sign it.:yesnod:
If you agree with the letter call or write your Representative and let them know. The signature list is growing hopefully. I've had this letter for a few days. Notice it is dated 6 August.
Here in New Braunfels the city has lost $504,000 in 2011. $368,940 in 2010. $361,835 in 2009. They lost...

I met Neidermeyer at the Cafe Wednesday. We talked and I brought him up to speed on the airport happenings.
I received a copy of a letter sent to the FAA by a group of Congressman calling for more oversight of airports that have city owned FBO's. I'll try to post a copy.
OK GUYS, Paul is in. I've sent him my email and phone #. Waiting for a reply.
Now I have a question. How do I post a pdf document on the forum?
Thanks,
To see what the city charges businesses at the airport look here:

Henning. Thats $95,000 + 500 per month car allowance for the Airport director according to city records. After all it is a REGIONAL...
Doug,
I just happen to have the financials for the airport someplace. Lets just say they are NOT making any $$$$. In fact it is a BIG loser. At least a half million LOSS per year in fuel sales. Thats why they needed to boot NB Aero off the field.
The Contract tower is costing the FEDS about...
In the case of KBAZ. The city needs to come up with the cash to pays its airport director $95,000 a year plus car allowance of $500 monthly. That's nearly double what they pay the airport director at Beaumont. A much larger airport. The city lost $500,000 last year in its fuel ops. That's after...

It's more complicated (and expensive) than just leasing a truck and selling fuel.
The cost of the insurance to sell fuel and the cost of the fuel itself could be lost if the city jumped in and stopped the sale of fuel. Then all that money would be lost with no chance of recovery. It was...
