SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
SB 381 changes current
law that limits airport-landing fees to commercial aircraft in excess of 18,000
pounds to allow airports to charge landing fees for any aircraft used in a
commercial activity. The bill gives airports
the ability to charge landing fees to smaller commercial aircraft such as air
charter companies, agricultural operations, flight schools, air ambulances
aerial photography companies, etc.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
SB 381 has no fiscal impact on the Aviation
Division of the State Highway Department.
It will have a positive impact on those airports that elect to charge a
fee. The revenue as a result of this
bill will depend upon the number of airports electing to charge the fee, and
the number of aircraft utilizing such airports.
