~ vai l ability of Cates an4 Re l ated Facilit i es There are twenty terminal qates with loading bridges at Kahului Airport (Figure 1 - Terminal Gate Configuration). All gates are owned and controlled by Airports Divis ion. Gate assignments are controlled by Airports Division ' s Maui District Airport Operations Control Unit. Attached Appendix 1 - Aircraft Parkinq and Gate Assignments Policy is the procedure and policy used by Airports Divi sion tor gate assignne.nts. Aa atatod in the Aircraft Parking and Gate Asaiqn=ent Policy, Airports Division retains tot41 con~rol ot the terminal qates at all tiDes, assiqnir.q aircraft pr~ily based on signatory status, operational trequoncy. aircraft 51Ze and passenger load, air carrier preference. ope~ational sanctions. and other secondary c riterions. Gate usage is conitorod by Airports Division to obtain che b~ac utilization ot available qates . There are two distinct typo ot air carrier operetions using the torminal gates - interisla nd and overs eas . Interisland operations provideo air oorvlce wi thin th• Hawaii an Islands . lntorisland flight di8tancas trorn Kahului Airport is shor t , varying from 25 Diles to 202 miles . Narrow• bodiod aircraft, primarily 's and McDonnell-Oougla9 OC-9 ' &, are used . Due to the nature ot tho Hawaiian Islands, i nterisland flights a re the pri~ary, and often only, passenger link between islands. OVerseas operations provides air servi ce to the continental and Canada. Fli9ht distances are long, 2,400 Diles and greater . Generally, wide-bodied aircraft, ouch as McOOnnel l­ Oouqlas DC-lO's, Lockheed L-lOll's, 's, Boainq 777- 200'•• and la~ge narrow bodied aircraft~ such as 's, are used. Aircrat~s used tor these two type ot air carrier operation& attects gato aasignmonts . As shown in the Gate Assignment Table i n Appendix 1, while aircratt used tor interisland operation• can be accommodated at all gatos, those uaed tor overseas operation• aircrafts can ' t. These gate rostrictions will aftoct the aircraft mix that can be &CCOJilCiodated.

Aa •tated above. there are t~enty teroinal qates with loading bridqes at the airport. Nine gates are used tor over•aas

operations {Cates 1. 5, 7, 2J, 27 1 29, 33, 35, and 39) and seven qat•s are used ror interisland operations (Gates 9, 11. 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21) . 8ecau•e ot the space needed at adjacent gates to acco~odate large aircraft, cates 3, 25, 31, and 37, are seldOQ used. On the averaqo, there are 110 overaeas and 485 interisland departures tor a total of 595 departures p~r week. For the =onth of August 2000, there were 484 overseas and 2142

- 2- Kahulu1 Airport Airline Competition Pl an interisland departures for a total of 2626 departures per month. Gate utilization is twelve overseas daparturesjgate per week (53 departures/gate per month) and sixty-nine i nterisland departures/gate per week (306 departuresfqace per month) . Gate utilizat i on i s high , especially for interi sland operations. Because Airports Division controls gat e assignments, t .he airport has flexibility in accommodating new gate demand by air carriers. However, due to high gate utili zation, there is an upper l imit on gate capaci ty . While Airports Division have accommodated all previous legiti mate gate requests, the potential exi sts that once capacity is maximized, no additional gate request can be accommodated.

Patterns of Air service on a scheduled, non- stop basis, service is provi ded to four interisland markets (Honolu lu, Kona , Hilo, and Lihue) and seven overseas markets (Oakland, Los Angel es, san Francisco, Saint Loui s, , Mi dway - origin only, and Phoeni x - destination only) . In addition, there arc charter flights serving three oversea~ markecs (Vancouver, San Francisco, LOs Angeles) .

Leasi nq an4 SUbl oasinq Arrangements Airports Divi s i on owns, in fee, t he terminal facilities at Kahului Airport . The airlines ar e charged tor uGi ng terminal facilities, either through a lease or revocable permit. Air field costs are recove.red t hrough a landing tee. Residual costs to ope rate the statewide airports s ystem is recovered through the Airports System s upport Charge (ASSC) . A lease with an airline v.•i ll contain conditions and rental rates for a eot duration, usuall y one or more years. A revocabl e permi t pr ovides for use of the terminal faci l i ties, but contains language that allowz Airports Divi sion to cancel the pe rmit upon thirty days written notice . Other user based fees are assessed for common use areas and recovered on a per landing basi s . Subleasing is allowed only on a lease and i s prohibit·ed under a revocabl e permit. Conditions in the lease require DOT Airport approval on any subl ease. Also, it's Airports Division's policy to deny, take all or portion of, or requi re a change to sublease rents which it considers excessive andfor speculative. The existing ticket counters and a i r l ine office spaces i n the ticket l obby are completely occupied, either through a lease or revocabl e permit. If a new carrier reques"t:s ticket coum:er or office space, Airports Division will analyze usage of both leased and permi tted space in order to accommodate the request. Currentl y, there are three air carriers and four Fixed Base Operators (FBO) who provi de ground handling of air c r aft at Kahului Airport . Wh i le the FBO generally handl e general aviation and corporate clients, they also provide fuel for airline aircraft . All companies providing ground handling servi ces operat e either through a lease or revocable permit. Airports Division provides site preparation (gr ading, access, and utilities) of lease lots while t he g r ound handlers provide the faci lities needed tor their operation. Currently, all improved

Kahul ui Ai rport Airline competition Plan

lease lots a re leased or under permit. Because of this lack of improved lease lots, new ground handling companies will have to prepare, at their own expense, the unimproved l ease lots they will be using.

Financia l Constraints Airports Divisi on operates a system ot fifteen airports, incl udi ng Kahului Airport, within t he State of Hawaii. This system i s required, by State law, to be operated on a salt­ sustaini ng basis. sources of revenues i ncludes aeronautical revenues, concession fees, interest i ncome, and other non­ aeronautical revenues. Aeronautical revenues consist of landing fees, aeronautical rentals and system support charges. These charges are governed by the airport-airline lease extension agreement executed in June 1994. This agreement. ettective 3uly 1 , 1994 to June 30, 1997 , with automatic quart erly extensions thereafter, is between Airports Division and signatory a i rlines . Th is lease e xtension aqree~ent uses a res idual rate setting methodoloqy that excludes duty tree revenues in excess ot $100 million per year and any interest income earned on !unds set aside for the capital Improvement Program trom t he rate base. The rates and char9es establi shed by formulae include (1) exclusive use terminal charges based on appraisal rates and recovered on a per square toot per year basis, (2) joint use pre~ise charges {for nonexclusive terminal space) based on appraisal rates and recovered on a per passenger revenue landing basis, (3) internationa l arrivals building charges based on appraisal rates and recovered on a per depl aning international passenger basis, (4) landing fees based on a cost canter residual rate setting methodology and recovered on a revenue landi n9 landed wei ght basis, and ( 5) system support charqes based on an Airport System residual rate setting methodology and recovered on a landed weight basis . Nonsignatory airlines are assessed charges based on Airports Division ' s Administrative Rules. Concession fees are the rentals and fees paid to Airports Division by private parties operating concessi o ns for the Ai rports System. Separate contracts are maintained for food and beverage, barber, foreign exchange, business center, parking services, ground transportati on, rental car s, newsstands, shower and l ocker faci lities, operati ons o t duty fee, florist, gift, sundries, camera and jewelry shops, telephone call board, and various vending services such as ATMs and luggage carts . The duty tree concession, an exclusive contract for the sale of in-

- 7- Kahulu1 Airport Airl ine Competition Plan

bond merchandise on a duty free basis is, by far, the l arqe$t concession contract, with revenues collected in Fiscal Year 1999 totaling approximately $104 million, 36 . 5% of t he total r evenues of the Airport System. I nterest i ncome is derived primarily from the i nvestment of airports funds and the proceeds of bonds. Non- aeronauti cal revenues other than concassi on fees are derived troD rental ot land, terminal building space, other buildings and structures to tenants other than the air carriers. Currently, Airports Division has not imposed or used a ny PFC . However, this matter is under review and PPCs may be collected in the future.

capital construction Control s The existing airport-airline lease extension agreement is based on a residual rate setting methOdology . This methodology provides for a final year- end reconc iliation containing actual airports system cost data to determine whether airports system charges assessed to the signatory airlines were sufficient to recover airports system costs, including debt service requirements. A public/private partnership has been established between the s iqn a~ory airlines and Airport s Di vision to hel p facilitate interaction on the airport-airline lease extension agreement . The airport-airline lease extension provides a "concurrence" methodology for capital improvement projects i n excess ot the concurred capital i~provement program. New projects go through a concurre-nce process in which fifty percent ot the signatory airlines representing at least fifty percent of t he total l anding fees and a i rport system support charge can delay the project by withholding concurrence. However, t he lease extension allows Airports Division to proceed with a non-concurred project in the State Fiscal Year following the year concurrence was withheld . In essence, the airport-airline lease extension allows the signatory airlines, by withholding concurrence, to delay a capital improvement project up to o ne year. Currently at Kahu lui Airport, there exists another control on Airports Division capital construction. Since 1992 , major capi~al improvement projects at Kahului Airport has been on hold due to c hallenges to the adequacy of the environmental impact statement in both Federal and State courts. On July 26, 2000, the Federal 9 ~~ Circuic Court ruled that the Federal EIS was

- 8 - Kabulul A~rt Al rll De Coapetition Plan

adequate. In August 2000, hearings vere held at the State 2~ Circuit court, a deciaion ia expected by December 2000. These court challenges has held up capital improvement projects a t Kahului Airport for over eight years . Wh ile tho challenge i n tha Fodoral courts haG bean reaolved, the decision ot the State 2r.~ Circuit Court i s pendin9. As stated abova, thoro are no Majorit y-In-Intereat (MII) lanquaqe in the airport-airline lease extension . Instead, there i s a "concurrence" proc.edure which, while similar to a Mil, only a llowa the siqnatory a irlines to delay a capit al iQProv&ment project for up to one year. In the six years a1nce the airport­ airline leas e extension was siqned, no projects were ever delayed due to che lack ot airline concurrence. Also, tho previous airport-airline lease (1962-1992) had no lanquage related to MII or concurrence. The Airports Division and siqnatory airlines continue to operaee under the terms of the extension agreement which provides tor automatic extension on a quarterly basis unless either pa rty provides sixty days written notlco to thQ other party of termination. Below are projects that will increase capacity at Xahului Airport. These projects havo "concurrence" trom the signatory airlines.

Terpinol Q~y• lopmcnt PbAQO 1: Project will provide a tWO bay extension to t he existin9 6-1/2 bay ticket lobby within the existinq terainal footprint. This proj ect will alao replace the e xlating flat plate bag9a9e claiD devices with new angled plate devices. While this project will not add gates and holdrooms, it doe5 provide for airlino counter space and ottices, which are currently completely occupied and leasad. While this project has "coneurranca" , a n environmental assessment is needed before conotruction can proceod.

While the airpor e-airline lca~e ext ension is a roaidual aqreement, there is no airline ma j ority-in-interest clause. Inctead, t her e is a "concurrence" process, which allows the siqnator y a i rli nes to dela y project s for up to ono ygar. Wh i le this "concurrence" clause oxists, t he s ignatory airlines have nevar exercised it. Terminal facilities ~t Kahului Airport, including gates, holdroom, and esp,ecially, tickot counter space, are nearing capacity. Airports Division retains the tlexibility on qate and holdroom aasiqnDents due eo airport ownership of the ter=inal tacilieies. However, the crieical constraint on the entry of new carriers is tho lack of ticket counter space. To =••t this constraint, Airports Division is currently designing the Terainal Development Phase I, • hich will provido a two bay extension to t he existinq ticket lobby within the termi nal shell. This project has "concurrence" trom the signotory airlines.
