(a) Establishment of Facility Use Fees. The Facility Use Fees are intended to reflect the Commission’s operating and capital costs of the Terminal 2-Humphrey or a percentage thereof (“Recoverable Costs”). Recoverable Costs are the amount of the total Terminal 2-Humphrey costs that the Commission determines shall be recovered by Terminal 2-Humphrey users each year, which may include but are not limited to costs of Common Use Gates, Common Use Ticket Counters, ramp lineal footage, Terminal 2-Humphrey Surcharge, and depreciation and interest.
1. Common Use Facilities Fee. The operator of aircraft using Common Use Gates, Common Use Ticket Counters and other Common Use Facilities at the Terminal 2-Humphrey shall pay Common Use Facilities Fee for use of that terminal building and ramp as set forth by this Ordinance. The rates established on the effective date of this Ordinance are set forth in Schedule A-1. This fee may be adjusted periodically by Commission action as set forth in Section 4.6.
The Commission shall also establish a Cap for the Common Use Facilities Fee for use of the Terminal 2-Humphrey (“Cap”) in which an aircraft operator shall pay no more than the Cap rate for each Common Use Gate. For any calendar year, the Cap shall only apply to Common Use Facilities Fee for the aircraft operator’s Operations on a single Common Use Gate and does not include FIS Charges, Landing Fees, Fuel Flowage Fees, Aircraft Parking Fees, rent for leased premises paid to MAC or any other fees payable to MAC. The Cap may be adjusted into rates for Category I, II and III Aircraft and may be adjusted periodically as set forth in Section 4.6.
6
MAC Ordinance No.115 Airfield Use and Terminal 2-Humphrey Ordinance Effective January 1, 2013
An aircraft operator assigned an FIS accessible gate as its priority gate may be reassigned to another gate to accommodate an international arrival and corresponding departure. In that event, the fees incurred at the gate the aircraft operator is reassigned to will apply against the Cap at the aircraft operator's normally assigned priority gate. If an aircraft operator has reached the Cap on the effective date of this Ordinance, the aircraft operator shall incur no more Common Use Gate fees for a single gate for the calendar year.
-
Federal Inspection Services (“FIS”) Facility Use Fee. In addition to Common Use Facilities Fee and all other fees due under this Ordinance, the operator of aircraft using the Terminal 2-Humphrey FIS facility shall pay an FIS Facility Use Fee per Operation. This fee may be adjusted periodically by Commission action as set forth in Section 4.6. The rates established on the effective date of this Ordinance are set forth in Schedule A-1.
-
Aircraft Parking Fees. All aircraft parked in designated areas as directed by the Commission or its designated representative, including but not limited to remote ramp areas and parking and overnighting aircraft on Common Use Gates, shall pay Aircraft Parking Fees as set forth on Schedules A-1. Parking shall mean any time period an aircraft is authorized to occupy a Common Use Gate for a time period longer than provided for in the Terminal 2-Humphrey Operating Policies and Procedures for an Operation. No parking fees shall apply to parking on an aircraft operator’s priority use gate as defined in the Terminal 2- Humphrey Operating Policies and Procedures. This fee may be adjusted periodically by Commission action as set forth in Section 4.6.
(b) Delay Fee. If the operator of aircraft exceeds the approved occupancy times for Common Use Gates as established by the Terminal 2-Humphrey Operating Policies and Procedures by more than 15 minutes and that delay affects the next flight using that gate, the aircraft operator shall pay additional Facility Use Fees, unless the delay is caused by circumstances beyond the operator’s control, including but not limited to weather, air traffic control, FIS delays, or delays of earlier flights on the gate other than flights by that aircraft operator. The delay fee is applicable to delays caused by mechanical problems where the aircraft operator has the ability to tow the aircraft off the gate. The Commission will make the final decision as to the cause of the delay.
4.4 Fuel Flowage Fees. Fixed Base Operators who are authorized to dispense Fuel at the Airport shall pay the Fuel Flowage Fees stated in Schedule A-2 for every gallon of Fuel sold or delivered by the Fixed Based Operator at the Airport, including Fuel sold or delivered to customers, subsidiaries, licensees, or subtenants of the Fixed Base Operator at the Airport, and customers, subsidiaries, licensees, or subtenants of a subtenant of the Fixed Base Operator at the Airport.

All use of Common Use Facilities must be approved in advance by the Commission or its designated representative.
Payment of the use fee charges shall be made prior to release and clearance of such aircraft for departure from the Airport to the Fixed Base Operator having under its control the apron area at the Airport used by the landing aircraft, including, in the case of aircraft landing and making use of the Terminal 2-Humphrey, the Terminal 2-Humphrey Agent in charge of such facility.
Aircraft Parking Fees, landing fees, Common Use Gate fees, and FIS use fees for Operation to, at or from the Terminal 2-Humphrey shall be paid to the Terminal 2- Humphrey Agent for Non-Signatory Airlines prior to release and clearance of such aircraft for departure from the Airport.

4.6 Adjustment of Fees.
-
(a) Landing Fee and Facility Use Fees. The Commission intends to establish rates in approximately September through December timeframe of each year for the upcoming calendar year. In addition, the Commission may periodically adjust these fees for reasons that include, but are not limited to, change in expected Operations, carrier(s) new to the Terminal 2-Humphrey, unanticipated expenses, and budget adjustments. Fees remain in effect until such time as changed by the Commission. The Commission shall provide notice of any changes in the Facility Use Fee structure prior to its implementation.
-
(b) Fuel Flowage Fees. Fuel Flowage Fees will be adjusted on January 1 of each year, according to the attached Schedule A-2. The Commission may, however, reevaluate and adjust the rates and fees in the attached Schedule A-2 by Commission action. If the Fuel Flowage Fees on the attached Schedule A-2 are not modified by the Commission before December 31, 2018, the rents and fees shall be increased in the same manner and at the same percentage rates per year until the Commission determines other rates and fees. This means that the Fuel Flowage Fees shall be increased at four percent (4%) per year.
