<strong>Airport</strong> Leases / Rates and Charges<br />

An important part <strong>of</strong> the revenue stream to an airport is set through lease arrangements with tenants <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Airport</strong>. Leases can range from monthly aircraft tie-down agreements to long-term leases <strong>of</strong> land or<br />

buildings. In addition, it is important that the <strong>Airport</strong> sets fair and equitable market rates for the leases,<br />

not undercharging or overcharging, to assure they meet the FAA’s grant assurances 16 .<br />

Further, the establishment <strong>of</strong> leases, especially long-term leases aid in the decision making process for<br />

future development at the <strong>Airport</strong>. The length <strong>of</strong> a lease and the associated revenue stream derived from<br />

that lease provides a measure <strong>of</strong> stability in assessing the sustainability <strong>of</strong> a capital investment with the<br />

resulting revenue available to support the increased operation and maintenance cost associated with such<br />

development.<br />

Leases at WVL mainly consist <strong>of</strong> land leases for the hangar facilities. Currently, there are 13 land leases<br />

that have a 30-year term with different expiration dates. The leases have Consumer Price Index (CPI)<br />

adjustments every five years. These leases currently range from $105 to $572 in annual revenue for the<br />

<strong>Airport</strong>. The difference in rental rates is associated with the size <strong>of</strong> the parcel leased and any CPI<br />

adjustments that have been made based on the term <strong>of</strong> the lease.<br />
