The seemingly endless rise in the price of crude oil to $140 a barrel drove the cost of aviation fuel to record highs. The increase was quickly passed on to travelers in the form of higher fares and a number of new fees for checked baggage and basic food service. As enplanements fell, driven by higher ticket prices, the airlines responded by reducing service, dropping flights and flying smaller aircraft. The economic downturn was felt at Albany International Airport as enplanements dropped by 4.2% over 2007. A change in aircraft size from full size jets to regional jets and turbo props reduced the Airport’s landed weight and associated revenue. Further evidence of contraction in the airline industry became evident in November, when, after serving Albany for 80 years, American Airlines terminated service. However, by monitoring expenses, adjusting Airport parking rates, and continuing to obtain capital grant funding, the Authority completed the fiscal year with a $4 million increase in net assets. There were a number of highlights during the year. We were proud to welcome Cape Air to Albany and passengers reacted positively to Southwest Airlines’ addition of a direct flight to Fort Lauderdale. The airport completed a project to add two new escalators in the main lobby area along with an overall renovation to the ticketing and baggage claim areas. Also, the TSA completed a multi-million dollar project providing a more modern baggage security system. Our “green” initiative was expanded with the introduction of electric aircraft tugs and baggage loaders by Delta Airlines. The FAA awarded the airport a $600,000 grant for the purchase of a glycol recovery vehicle and a runway deicing vehicle to help ensure the continued safe operation of the Airport’s runways and ramp areas during winter storms. The Airport sought to provide our passengers with new and exciting food venues. HMSHost will invest $3 million to reconstruct six concessions and introduce new themes such as Saratoga Silks, Brioche Dorée, Starbuck’s and Dunkin Donuts to the Airport’s growing selection of fast food and fine dinning venues. The spotlight was focused on the Airport as Mercedes once again chose our airport as the international launching site for the introduction of many of its new SUV models. Over 100 automotive reporters from around the world were flown by charter to Albany where they picked up test cars for trips through the Adirondacks and Green Mountains. As we conclude the year, the nation’s economy suggests that further adjustments will be necessary within the airline industry and the operation of the nation’s airports. With that caveat in mind, we will continue to be diligent in our stewardship of the Albany International Airport and maintain our goal of providing the region’s business and leisure travelers with outstanding service.
