Fixed Based Operator (FBO) negotiations have been underway with TAC Air on their
facilities onsite and how we can improve the efficiencies of that operation by changing
out some of the lease holds. Underlying issues several facilities involved and they have
different lease terms and expiration dates. The Airports goal was to consolidate the
leases and change the lease ending dates to make a more efficient operation for both TAC
Air and a second FBO that we hope to acquire thru an RFP process. TAC Air agreed to
accept the Airport’s offer.
