Airport Activity Report—Mr. Stuart reported that enplanements are higher than last
year's numbers. However, the Department of Transportation's delay in its decision
regarding CGI and its EAS carrier had a slightly negative affect on the enplanements.

able to book flights directly from Chicago to Dallas-Fort Worth, which will also help
increase enplanements.

sales have decreased slightly by 8% for the month, while YTD fuel sales have increased by
nearly 15%. More discussion on the topic.
