SUMMARY:
The operation of the Pensacola International Airport is funded through the fees assessed to the various users of the facility. The airlines, rental car concessionaires, terminal concessionaires, airfield tenants, and other tenants all remit payments designed to offset the overall facility’s ongoing maintenance and operating expenses.
The bulk of the annual revenue is generated through the passenger activity occurring at the main terminal building. Parking, rental car activity, food and beverage, news and gifts, and other terminal non-airline tenants make up approximately eighty-eight percent of all non-airline revenue. The airlines themselves, through their agreements, allow the Airport to maintain full financial self-sufficiency.
The COVID-19 health emergency has significantly impacted air transportation worldwide. The Federal Government, under Airport Coronavirus Relief Grant Program (ACRGP), has provided economic support to all U.S. airports. Each airport has been allocated funding to help offset the reduced revenues as a result of the diminished activity from COVID-19. This funding may be used over a period of three (3) years for operations and maintenance at the Airport.
The Pensacola International Airport was previously awarded $11,081,566 under CARES, $4,502,199 under Airport Coronavirus Relief Grant Program (ACRGP), and $235,353 under Airport Coronavirus Relief Grant Program (ACRGP) Concessions Relief. This Grant creates additional funding in the amount of $9,544,946 to use towards on-going operations.
