moved to approve the December 2025 minutes. Mr. Ward seconded, and all were in favor. The motion
passed unanimously.
Old Business -
Airport Activity Report—Mr. Stuart reported that CGI’s enplanements are well above
those of previous years. Chicago had a load factor of 51%, and Dallas had 68%, despite the
ice, snow, and fog.
Cape Aviation Report – Mr. Stuart shared that 2026 fuel sales are slightly down due to
weather, though jet traffic is higher for the month. Overall sales are up. More discussion
on this topic.
Part 139 Annual Inspection – Mr. Stuart commented that the inspection went well.
There were some issues with paint markings because the paint machine is currently at
the repair facility. Overall, the FAA Inspector was satisfied.
New Business
Date change, Pensacola, FL – Departures for PNS will start May 6, with departures on
Wednesdays and Saturdays through September 7, 2026.
CAA (Corporate Aircraft Association) – Mr. Stuart stated that CGI has been approved for
a GPU (Ground Power Unit). This will be helpful because CGI is centrally located, which
will drive corporate aircraft traffic to our facility for fuel and other services.
Echo Foxtrot Reconstruction – Mr. Stuart reports that the FAA has not provided a
timeline for funds. The reconstruction will go out to bid again in the spring.
Interline Airline Agreement – Contour has recently entered into another interline
agreement with JetBlue, along with American Airlines, United Airlines, and Alaska
Airlines.
Non–Agenda Items – Mr. Stuart reported that CGI has an account with the Community
Foundation of the Ozarks, established in 2017. The previous Airport Board members donated
funds for small campus projects. Further discussion of this topic is scheduled for next month's
meeting.
PFC (Passenger Facility Charges) – Mr. Stuart explained that a small charge would be added to
each ticket sale to fund airport projects, such as taxiways, runways, and other projects.
Adjournment - There being no other business, Mr. Boeller moved to adjourn the
meeting, Ms. Koop first, Mr. Ward second. All were in favor. The meeting adjourned at
12:10 pm.
