Introduction RHODE ISLAND AIRPORT CORPORATION BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016 INTRODUCTION The Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) was created by the Rhode Island Port Authority and Economic Development Corporation, now the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation (Commerce RI), on December 9, 1992, as a subsidiary public corporation, governmental agency and public instrumentality, having a distinct legal existence from the State of Rhode Island (State), and Commerce RI, and having many of the same powers and purposes of Commerce RI. Pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, RIAC is empowered to undertake the planning, development, management, acquisition, ownership, operations, repair, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, renovation, improvement, maintenance, sale, lease, or other disposition of any “airport facility” as defined in Rhode Island General Law. Pursuant to the Lease and Operating Agreement by and between the State of Rhode and Providence Plantations, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, and RIAC dated as of June 25, 1993, RIAC leased, initially for a period of thirty (30) years, all of the airports which previously had been under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation of the State of Rhode Island. The Lease Agreement was extended in Fiscal Year 2008 through June 30, 2038. The rental rate per the lease is $1 per year. Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, effective July 1, 1993, the State transferred to RIAC all of the personal property and other assets of the State located at or relating to the six airports. RIAC operates on a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year (FY) basis. RIAC was created to operate as a self-sustaining entity and receives no funds from the State’s General Purpose Fund for the operation and maintenance of any of the six airports under its jurisdiction. RIAC has utilized State General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds issued on behalf of RIAC for the intended use at the airports. Per the Lease Agreement, RIAC is obligated to repay to the State the principal and interest on any G.O. Bonds issued for airport purposes. As of June 30, 2015 RIAC will be obligated to repay the State approximately $2.02 million in G.O. Bonds issued, of which approximately $1.597 million is scheduled to be repaid on July 1, 2015. The Board of Directors of RIAC annually approves an Operating and Maintenance (O&M) Budget, as well as a Capital Budget for the fiscal year. The Board of Directors relies upon the advice and recommendation of RIAC's Finance & Audit Committee. RIAC operates T. F. Green Airport, which is Rhode Island’s only certified Part 139 commercial airport. There are five General Aviation (GA) airports operated by RIAC. Each of these airports is briefly described below: • North Central Airport – located in Smithfield, RI, approximately fifteen miles from T. F. Green Airport. North Central Airport is classified as a reliever airport to T. F. Green. • Quonset Airport – located in North Kingstown, RI, approximately ten miles south of T. F. Green Airport. The Rhode Island Air National Guard moved its operations from T. F. Green Airport to Quonset Airport in 1986. Quonset also has additional industrial facilities which are leased to various tenants. Quonset Airport is classified as a reliever airport. • Westerly Airport – located in Westerly, RI, approximately thirty-five miles from T. F. Green Airport. Westerly Airport is classified as a commercial service airport and enplanes approximately 10,000 commuter passengers annually. • Newport Airport – located in Middletown, RI, approximately seventeen miles from T. F. Green Airport. Newport Airport is classified as a general aviation airport. • Block Island Airport – located on Block Island, just off the southern coast of Rhode Island, approximately twenty-five miles from T. F. Green Airport. Block Island Airport is classified as a commercial service airport and enplanes approximately 10,000 commuter passengers annually. AFCO AvPORTS Management, LLC (AvPORTS) manages and operates the GA airports pursuant to a Management Contract by and between RIAC and AvPORTS. The agreement includes a fixed management fee of $157,140 for fiscal year 2016 which will be supplemented with a success based financial incentive. While RIAC is responsible for the safe operation of these facilities and has complete authority over all aspects of operation, AvPORTS, which is a privately-held company, performs the work necessary to ensure safe and efficient operations exist at these five GA Airports. RIAC provides the resources to manage and maintain these airports through an arrangement where direct costs borne by AvPORTS are passed through to RIAC. There are no associated mark ups on any direct costs for maintenance or Fixed Base Operator (FBO) activities.

The FY 2016 rental rates for Signatory and Non- Signatory carriers are $104.66 and $130.83 per square foot, respectively. • Apron rental fees are charged to Airlines based on the actual amount of square feet of Apron utilized by the respective carrier.
