DRO Air Service Projections

DRO Terminal Impacts & Importance• If 2013 projections are realized DRO will exceed the FAA 2020 passenger

traffic projections (and if our 2013 trend of 18%+/- ahead of last year continues…we will approach their 2030 projections!)

• In 2012, we passed Eagle/Vail to become the 5th busiest CO airport. In the next few years we can pass Grand Junction to become #4. Aspen is in our sights…which would make us #3 behind DIA & COS

• Many more passengers on equal (or slightly fewer) flights creates significant “peak” demand pressures on our terminal facilities

• Existing gate seating/holdrooms and secure-side restrooms are inadequate to handle current passenger traffic

• Second TSA screening lane and second baggage pick-up conveyor are needed to process peak passenger flows

• Existing restaurant and retail services are poorly located and do not meet today’s passenger expectations

• Our airlines need room to expand their operations (offices, ground service equipment storage, etc.) but have limited funds to lease newly constructed space

• Our airport terminal is an important economic development engine for our region and the first & last impression that we make on many visitors, business leaders and opinion-shapers

DRO Near-term Improvements• Already completed graphic/sign overhaul, ticket & rental car

counter renovation, wireless upgrade and overflow parking construction

• This spring TSA will install second carry-on security screener and Airport will construct Temporary Holdrooms

• This summer/fall we plan to relocate utilities and pave overflow & employee lots (subject to funding/financing)

POTENTIAL ADDITION OF SECOND BAGGAGE CAROUSEL

DRO Terminal Expansion - Exterior

DRO Terminal Expansion – Interior

DRO Terminal Expansion – Funding/Financing• TSA pays for 2nd security screening lane

(cost unknown) in spring 2013• DRO pays for temporary gate &

holdroom structure ($500,000+/-) which provides significant construction schedule compression and cost savings (and provides future airline GSE storage) in spring/early summer 2013

• Applied to FAA for AIP funding of utility relocation and reimbursement of temporary gate & holdroom structure ($2.6M+/-) in summer 2013

• Confirming feasibility and logistics of issuing enterprise fund revenue bonds backed by airport PFC revenue ($6.77M+/-) in 2013

• Also scheduled to rehabilitate Taxiway A ($6.6M+/- FAA funding) in 2013/2014

DRO Terminal Expansion – Next Steps• Finalize plans, bids & execution schedule for the

second TSA security lane and temporary holdroom/gate structure (funded by TSA and retained earnings)

• Finalize the terminal expansion financing plan and secure City/County approval to issue bonds

• Finalize the terminal expansion plans and bid documents and secure final costs with add/deduct alternates.

• Determine best timing to construct terminal expansion/renovate existing terminal that minimizes passenger/airline impact.

• Issue bonds and launch project
