Execute New Airline Lease & Operating Agreement. The five primary air carriers at this Airport have each been provided with new Airline Lease and Operating Agreements that are based on a fixed rent rather than the previous calculations whereby signatory airlines held the power to control rental rate increases and airport improvements. The new agreements, which were sent out in early December and will all have an initial starting term date of January 1, 2010, are weighted toward a 5-year term, but the primary airlines (Delta, Continental, American Eagle, United and US Air) can opt for an initial 3-year term. _________ Airlines has executed their agreement and is requesting Commission approval for a __-year term. Rental rates for terminal space will be $48.50 psf for calendar year 2010 and will increase incrementally over the 5-year term period.

The campaign will highlight Savannah/Hilton Head International and will be marketed to our nonstop destinations. The CVB has found that their Travelocity partnership is one of the highest ROI expenditures with the last co-op bringing in an estimated $54 to $1 return on investment. SAC staff will work with the CVB to ensure the ad pages will help promote air travel as well as promoting Savannah as a destination. Final arrangements are in process but the campaign will run from 4 to 6 months. The total cost of the Travelocity co-op is $120,000 and Staff is requesting approval for $60,000 to partner with the CVB.
