The conference was large; with over 1500 delegates attending and close to 150 exhibitor companies. During the conference I attended a chapter meeting (SWAAE), a meeting just for airport commissioners, there were three (3) general sessions and six (6) concurrent training sessions (where attendees could choose between a total of 30+ training topics). The conference also allowed directors to meet with several of our contractors and vendors and discuss the future at MRY. See attached agenda. For purposes of this report, I’ll focus on just a few topics that are of interest/relevance to Monterey Airport (MRY). There was much discussion concerning Increasing the Passenger Faculty Charge (PFC), Fully Funding the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Trust-Fund, The future of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) at MRY and other airports, a TSA discussion following a negative report of their screening effectiveness, and the impact and future of MRY due to the pilot shortage on the regional carriers. PFC Increase: Everyone affiliated with the airport industry agrees that one is desperately needed. AAAE and ACI are still lobbying for the current PFC of $4.50 be increased to $8.50, then indexed for inflation. The Airline industry, through their lobbying association, Airlines for America (A4A) (previously known as Air Transport Association - ATA), has been actively opposed to any tax increase. A4A is small, 11 members consisting of the remaining major air carriers and large fright carriers, but they have outspent AAAE and ACI in Washington many times over. AAAE CEO doesn’t believe that we will be able to increase the PCF at this time (see API/FAA for further discussion and recommendations). A4A was able to score a victory last year by changing the law that requires the taxes/fees (PFC, API, Security, etc) to be included in the listed fare price. Congress mandated this several years ago and A4A lobbied heavily to change this to a system not unlike the way hotels advertise their rates. API and FAA funding: There are no immediate efforts for the Congress to fix and overhaul FAA funding. The focus seems to be on revamping the funding for highways and bridges which are in desperate need of repairs. Look for yet another Continuing Resolution to extend existing FAA funding methodology. Recommendation: MRY continue to monitor the efforts of our AAAE and ACI lobbyists and be ready to assist (letters and additional funding) when asked. The future of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) (Uber, etc) at MRY: Transportation Network Companies (TNC) like Uber and Lift are a big hit with their growing customer base, are here to stay, and may eventually replace the traditional taxi cab. The growth of TNC went for nonexistence to a huge business in just 18 months.
