Info

services commonly offered by FBO’s at similar airports (Catering, lavatory disposal, limo, etc.), the Airport currently accepts a lower profit margin on aviation fuel compared to other nearby airports in order to stay competitive and generate business from customers who might land at WVL to save on fuel costs, (See Table 8.4). Furthermore, the annual fuel volume at a particular airport can also be related to how flexible the airport can be with their fuel pricing structure. Airports that generate healthy revenues from multiple sources are able to be more flexible with their fuel pricing structure than airports like Waterville where revenue streams are few, and fuel sales serve as a primary revenue generator. Generally, airports with annual fuel volumes in excess of one million gallons, sell Jet A over AvGas at a ratio of about 5:1. Table 8.6 shows the historical annual fuel volume at the Airport from 2006-2010 as reported by the City of Waterville. The average ratio of Jet A over AvGas at WVL through the entire period is roughly 3.25 to 1. Table 8.6 Historical Annual Airport Fuel Volume 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 5 yr Annual Average Jet A 43,890 60,230 53,157 42,913 32,010 46,440 AvGas 13,787 10,780 13,460 12,823 20,571 14,284 Ratio (Est) 3 to 1 5.6 to 1 4 to 1 3.3 to 1 1.6 to 1 3.25 to 1 Source: Data from the City of Waterville and Consultant Calculations Since 2008, the economic downturn has affected the level of operations and the annual volume of fuel sales at General Aviation airports across the country. As a result, the profits generated from fuel sales at these airports have also been affected. Notably, the nearly 50% decrease in annual fuel volume at WVL since 2007 has resulted in an almost 40% decrease in FBO revenue as shown in Table 8.9. Since the revenues generated at Waterville have historically been largely dependent on fuel sales, the revenues at WVL have diminished at a much larger percentage than airports of similar size and function with a more diverse set of revenue streams. Airports with major tenants such as full service FBO’s or aircraft maintenance shops have the ability to cover airport operating costs through guaranteed building and/or ground lease revenue and can often offset the losses resulting from reductions in airport fuel sales. Until Waterville obtains the services of such tenants, the City will continue to rely on aviation fuel sales as one of its only means of revenue. The Airport has indicated that the profit on a gallon of Jet A is approximately $1.00. If the Airport were to regain fuel sales volume back to 2007 levels they could expect an additional $30,000 in annual revenue to the Airport.
