  • View MAA Leasing Policy
    LEASING POLICY FOR MOBILE REGIONAL AIRPORT, MOBILE DOWNTOWN AIRPORT AT BROOKLEY, AND MOBILE AEROPLEX AT BROOKLEY Insert Date Adopted 1 Mobile Airport Authority Leasing Policy STATEMENT The primary goal for establishing departmental procedures for Airport Property Leasing (“Leasing Procedures”) at the Mobile Regional Airport (“MOB”), Mobile Downtown Airport at Brookley. (“BFM”), collectively referred to as “Airport” in this document, and the Brookley Aeroplex (or Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley) (“BAX”) is to ensure that leasing activities are consistent with Local, State, and Federal requirements including, but not limited to, the policies and rules of the Mobile Airport Authority (“MAA” or “Authority”), Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), Department of Transportation and formal Procedures adopted by MAA. These Leasing Procedures should be followed, whenever possible; however, the President shall have the authority to change, update and/or waive any provisions that do not directly benefit the Airport, as long as such changes are not inconsistent with the requirements of the Airport’s regulatory agencies. PURPOSE These Leasing Procedures incorporate aviation industry best practices, ensure compliance with governing entities, and establish a comprehensive leasing procedure that governs the Airport’s approach to property leasing. As an Airport receiving federal Airport Improvement Program (“AIP”) grant funding, MAA is required to adhere to certain federal obligations in the conveyance of federal property for aviation purposes. Once the Airport receives federal funds to develop or improve the Airport, it is considered a federally “Obligated Airport”, which means the Airport is required to adhere to certain Airport Sponsor Grant Assurances. The intent of these obligations is to ensure that the public interest in civil aviation is adequately served.

  • Mobile Airport Authority Accepts Federal Grant for Runway Rehabilitation Tuesday, February 2, 2021
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Chris Curry Mobile Airport Authority President O: 251-438-7334/C: 251-423-1392 [email protected] Mobile Airport Authority accepts federal grant for runway rehabilitation Tuesday, February 2, 2021 MOBILE, Ala. – The Mobile Airport Authority has accepted a grant offer for $9.1 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to fund the rehabilitation of Runway 14/32 at the Mobile Downtown Airport (BFM). The project includes milling and resurfacing across the runway, upgraded lighting, and pavement marking. The improvements are expected to start this March/April and be finished by the end of 2021. The grant is being funded as part of the supplemental funding provided under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) of 2020. “We are grateful for U.S. Senator Richard Shelby’s support and his commitment to improving the safety and efficiency of airports across the state,” said Chris Curry, Mobile Airport Authority President. “This project will allow us to further our mission of providing premium air-service to the residents of Mobile and Baldwin County in a safe and secure manner.” Runway 14/32 is the primary runway at BFM, and it serves the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, which includes the Airbus Final Assembly Line facility, VTMAE MRO facilities, Signature Flight FBO, and Terminal One. The runway was originally constructed in 1929 and extended in 1955. It’s been rehabilitated and upgraded several times since then, most recently in 2005. The Mobile Airport Authority owns and operates Mobile Regional Airport (MOB), Mobile Downtown Airport (BFM) and the Brookley Aeroplex generating $1.8 Billion in economic value for the state of Alabama.
