3.1
Landing Fees. Landing Fees for the use of the landing area will be assessed to the Airline

multiplying the applicable rate by the quotient of the aircraft's maximum allowable gross take
off weight (MAGTOW) at which an aircraft may take off from an airport as certificated by the
Federal Aviation Administration and recited in flight manuals governing that aircraft type
divided by 1,000 pounds. In no case will an operator pay less than the Minimum Landing Fee.
Other terms and conditions applicable to Airlines operating at the Regional Airports are attached
hereto as "Appendix 2."
3.2
Minimum Landing Fee. In circumstances where the calculated amount of Landing Fees
for any given landing are less than the applicable Minimum Landing Fee, the Minimum Landing
Fee for the use of the landing area will be assessed to the operator for each landing of an aircraft
at any Regional Airport.

3.3
Parking Fees. An aircraft parked at any Regional Airports on paved or unpaved ground
not under lease, and designated by the Authority for such use (as available), will be charged for

respect to an aircraft parked within an area leased by fixed base operators, aircraft owners, or

Airport for mechanical, meteorological, bomb search, or other emergency reasons; and (2) there

purpose of fueling, crew change, or cabin service without enplaning or deplaning of revenue
passengers, or the loading or unloading of revenue items of any kind, and no revenue is derived
from the operation (in this case, the aircraft operator must submit a certified statement within the
