Operations Report Airport Manager Mike Lewis reported that with a forecast of 173 flights for December the year will end with just over 3,000 enplanements (approximately 3,026). In November only 8 crew related flight cancellations. There was an omission in the AV Gas numbers for October which when added will increase the total AV Gas to 61,133 for the year. Compared to last year the fuel has decreased about 64,000 gallons, which averages to about 182 gallons per day. Some of this reduction is contributed to the reduction in flights by Great Lakes. 1  Draft Minutes ‐ Airport Advisory Commission December 8, 2015 ‐ Page 2 of 2 The Air Traffic is up a bit this month, but down overall for the yearly operations, averaging about 9.7 less operations per day. Mr. Lewis shared that he had spoke with the owner of Great Lakes, Doug Voss, and Mr. Voss is optimistic that this legislation is the right approach to take and that they are only asking for the change to be an increase from the existing 9 seat requirement to 19 seats. Mr. Lewis stated that he had met with the contractor at 4 Corners Materials and showed them the issue with the peeling paint on the surface numbers. They were upset about the painting and are working with the sub-contractor to resolve this issue. Because of the cold weather is may have to be repaired in the Spring when the temperatures are warmer. Staff is currently looking to recover some of the seats in the terminal. This will be done a few at a time and as the budget allows. The maximum quote is $75 per chair, depending on materials and whether or not the foam would need to be replaced. Mr. Lewis stated that staff had received a couple of calls today regarding the RealID and New Mexico Licenses not being accepted as official identification to board airplanes. Homeland Security is the agency to contact not TSA. In the information that Mr. Lewis read today there would be a point in time that would provide a 120 day notice to require passports for airplane travel. Mr. Lewis shared that this has been in the process since 2005, and the state has had 10 years of extensions. DHS is saying no more extensions. Mr. Lewis felt that we just have to wait and see what the directive will be and he will share that with the Commission as he receives the information. He added that the NM License is no longer valid to enter federal facilities such as military bases. Business from the Floor: Mr. Scott Mahon shared that he just celebrated his 50th anniversary of having his pilot license. The Commission congratulated him on this accomplishment. Business from the Chairman: Chairman Neely wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Business from the Commissioners: Commissioner Pacheco stated that the new construction hole/trench is settling and that area needs to have more fill dirt to make it level. Mr. Lewis stated that he would contact General Services about adding and re-compacting the fill dirt. Business from the Staff: There was no business from Staff. Adjournment: There being no further business to come before the Commission the meeting was adjourned at 4:15 pm. _____________________________ ______________________________ Richard Neely - Chairman Dee Dee Moore – Administrative Aide 2 OPERATIONS REPORT December 2015 3 4 5 6 7 OPERATIONS REPORT Y-T-D 2015 Vs Y-T-D 2014 8 9
