			ACI-NA Seeks Airport Funding as White House Forum Nears In a Nov. 20 letter to Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, ACI-NA President Greg Principato urged the secretary to include funding for airport infrastructure projects as a key topic of discussion during the Dec. 3 White House Forum on Jobs and Economic Growth. In his letter to LaHood, Principato wrote: “Many local communities have seen the positive effects of the $1.1 billion in Airport Improvement Program funding included in the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. Airports worked with the FAA to move the money from Washington to the local communities quickly using a process that is well known and understood.” Principato noted that by June 2009, the FAA reported that all but $5 million of the $1.1 billion appropriated had been authorized to 323 separate projects throughout the U.S. Airport infrastructure projects help create construction jobs today, “while paving the way for job creation in the future,” Principato said. In early 2009, the FAA noted there were $3 billion in shovel-ready AIP projects that could be completed in two years. In addition, the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems estimates that between 2009 and 2013 there are $49.7 billion in airport development projects eligible for AIP grants. Investments in airport infrastructure projects makes sense, not only as a way to create jobs and fuel economic growth, but also to ensure continued safety for the traveling public and continued investment in the future of our national transportation system. The forum will be an opportunity for the President Obama and the Administration’s economic team to hear from corporate CEOs, small business owners, and financial experts about ideas for continuing to grow the economy and put Americans back to work. View Principato’s letter to LaHood» Contact ACI-NA’s Jane Calderwood for more information» DOT Cites Deceptive Practices in Fining Airlines for Tarmac Delay at Rochester On Nov. 24, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issued three Consent Orders announcing that a “compromise civil penalty” had been reached with ExpressJet Airlines, Continental Airlines and Mesaba Airlines for their roles in the Aug. 8 incident where passengers were stranded on the tarmac at Rochester, Minn., for almost six hours. DOT’s Aviation Enforcement Office cited all three airlines for violating 49 U.S.C., section 41712, which prohibits unfair and deceptive practices in air transportation. ExpressJet was assessed a $50,000 civil penalty for failure to follow its and Continental’s procedures pertaining to lengthy ground delays. While $25,000 must be paid to DOT within 30 days, DOT agreed to allow a credit of up to $25,000 for ExpressJet if used “…within 18 months after the service date of this order to develop training materials and/or train its personnel on tarmac delay procedures…” View the ExpressJet consent order» Continental was cited for failure to follow commitments made to passengers for handling lengthy tarmac delays, which also covered flights operated by code sharing partners including ExpressJet. The compromise fine was also $50,000 with the option for $25,000 credit for training. View the Continental consent order» DOT and Mesaba Airlines agreed to a $75,000 fine, with a possible credit of $37,500 for training. In the Consent Order, DOT stated that “The Enforcement Office regards the misinformation provided by the Mesaba station agent as demonstrating an indifference to the passengers and amounting to an unfair and deceptive trade practice." View the Mesaba consent order» In the press release announcing the fines, DOT Secretary Ray LaHood stated “I hope that this sends a signal to the rest of the airline industry that we expect airlines to respect the rights of air travelers,” We will also use what we have learned from this investigation to strengthen protections for airline passengers subjected to long tarmac delays.” View LaHood’s press release» Contact ACI-NA’s Debby McElroy for further information» It is Going to be a Long December Let’s hope members of Congress finish up their holiday shopping this week as they face a list almost as long as Santa’s of ‘must dos’ when they return on Nov. 30: Appropriations – Seven of the 12 Fiscal Year 2010 appropriations bills – including Transportation-Housing and Urban Development – are still pending two months into the new fiscal year. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye’s (D-Hi.) hope to move a few more bills individually is unlikely to happen given that Senate floor time will be devoured by debate on the health care bill. Expiring Provisions: Estate Tax Exemption – disappears on Jan. 1 to return in 2011 at a higher rate unless action is taken to extend the current provision. Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization: Extension number 7 for the FAA expires on the Dec. 31. The Senate is leaning toward another three month extension. The Senate Finance Committee still needs to take action before the Senate bill, S. 1451, is ready for the floor. Federal Debt Limit Ceiling – An increase in the current $12.1 trillion federal debt limit ceiling will be needed by mid-month according to Treasury officials Highway Bill – Debate continues over whether to complete work on the six-year highway reauthorization bill, as favored by House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.); an 18-month extension pushed by the administration or a six-month extension thrown into the mix by Environment and Public Works Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). Whichever route they choose, Congress has to take action by Dec. 18. Medicare Physician Payments - Will drop by 21 percent unless Congress takes action. Patriot Act – Three sections of the post -9/11 legislation expire at the end of the year. In addition, the Senate will take up the health care reform bill next week while the House looks at reform of the financial industry. Contact ACI-NA’s Jane Calderwood for more information» Globe Entry to Become Permanent CBP Program U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) wants to permanentize its Global Entry program, which currently is in the pilot testing phase. The agency on Nov. 19 filed a proposal to make the program permanent and potentially expand it beyond the current list of participating airports. Under the proposal, the rules and operation of the program would stay the same as under the pilot program. Those participants who joined the program under pilot program status will automatically be rolled into the permanent program with their membership valid for five years from the date of their original enrollment. ACI-NA has long supported the establishment of an international registered traveler program and will likely submit brief comments in support of the program by CBP’s Jan. 19 comment deadline. If you have any other thoughts or views you would like ACI-NA to consider for its comments, please let us know.

Contact ACI-NA’s Debby McElroy for more information» 2009 News, Gifts and Specialty Retail Survey Result Released The first phase of the ACI-NA Concessions Benchmarking Survey that focused on News, Gifts and Specialty Retail Shops was recently reported at the ACI-NA Commercial Management Committee meeting in Indianapolis. The survey, which was launched in June, was designed to create a central information source for News, Gifts & Specialty Retail data, as it is not readily available. The final results represent 69 percent of large hub airports, 57 percent of medium hub airports and 18 percent of small hub airports. Nine Canadian and other airports also responded to the survey. The analysis of survey data reveals the following key findings: Most airports conduct customer satisfaction surveys and have updated their passenger data in the last 2 to 3 years. While the length of news, gift and specialty retail lease contracts varies greatly, most contracts run 6 to 10 years. The majority of the airports do not contribute to the marketing of the concession program, while only one third of the airports collect a marketing fee. Airports set up standards to manage their concession programs with over half requiring minimum staffing levels and over 70 percent defining and controlling product lines sold. Over 60 percent of the airports have only one person or less dedicated to working with News, Gifts and Specialty Retail Shops; but 8 percent have more than four staff members assigned to this niche. Participating airports will receive the full survey data in late December.

The webinar attracted 25 attendees mostly from airports. The webinar was designed to introduce participants to the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 53. This new standard represents a significant change in how entities are required to account for and report on their derivative activities. GASB 53 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2009, and applicable for all state and local governments that enter into derivative instruments. The first group of airports to be affected would be those with fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. Derek Bradfield, a partner at Deloitte and Touche served as the presenter.

			Our Blogs ACI-NA President Greg Principato notes that medical professionals take an oath to “First, do no harm.” So, it has been especially ironic to hear airline executives and lobbyists mouth the words “do no harm” when they argue against investing in fixing, maintaining, upgrading, and expanding our aviation infrastructure.

There is no rational reason to support inadequate infrastructure or outdated technology, but that becomes the result of the airline industry’s new approach.

			September's Airline Employment at Lowest Level Since 1993 Japan bookings to the United States decreased 16 to 20 percent on average in the second quarter of 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce sponsored Japan Travel Trade Barometer. The primary drivers for the decline were the H1N1 flu and airfare/fuel surcharges. On average, the state of the global economy was rated as a minimal deterrent. Japanese firms that promote and sell travel projected Japan bookings to the United States for the third quarter of 2009 to be lower on average, compared to last year. The majority, 73 percent, of the Japan travel trade projected bookings to the United States to decrease in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. On average fourth quarter bookings were also projected to be lower. Fifty-five percent of the Japan travel trade projected bookings to be lower in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
