Introduct ion

Kahului Airport io located on the north central shore ot Maui , northeast ot tho town of Kahului. The Airpor t e ncompasses approxicately 1,447 acres ot land and is owned and oporated by the Sta't.e ot Jiawaii as part ot the ata.t•wide airporto ~yctem. . Under the Wendell H. Ford Aviat ion Investment and Rotor= Act tor the 21•t century, large and &edi-.m hub a.irpor-cs with aore t.han sot of ~hair traffic served by one or two c,arriero need to sub~it a airline co~potit1on plan . Kahului Airport, as a cod1ua hub airport , meets this criteria wi th Hawaiian Airl i nes and Aloha Airlines carryinq over SOt of the paaocnqer trattic.

Kahului Airport ia currently aorved by 8 major and national , 3 toreiqn tlag, 6 commuter, and 2 all-cargo carriere, as s hown on Tabl e 1 . Approximately 72% ot tho passenger tratt ic is carried by Aloha and Hawaiian Airlines, which includes Aloha Airlines s~sidiary Island Air.

~vai lability of Cates an4 Re l ated Facili t i es

There are twenty terminal qates with loading bridges at Kahului Airport (Figure 1 - Terminal Gate Configuration). All gates are owned and controlled by Airports Divis ion. Gate assignments are controlled by Airports Division ' s Maui District Airport Operations Control Unit. Attached Appendix 1 - Aircraft Parkinq and Gate Assignments Policy is the procedure and policy used by Airports Div i sion tor gate assignne.nts .

Aa atatod in the Aircraft Parking and Gate Asaiqn=ent Policy, Airports Division retains tot41 con~rol ot the terminal qates at all tiDes, assiqnir.q aircraft pr~ily based on signatory status, operational trequoncy. aircraft 51Ze and passenger load, air carrier preference. ope~ational sanctions. and other secondary c riterions. Gate usage is conitorod by Airports Division to obtain che b~ac utilization ot available qates .

There are two distinct typo ot air carrier operetions using the torminal gates - interisla nd and overs eas . Interisland operations provideo air oorvlce wi thin th• Hawai i an Islands . lntorisland flight di8tancas trorn Kahului Airport is shor t , varying from 25 Diles to 202 miles . Narrow• bodiod aircraft , primarily Boeing 737's and McDonnell-Oougla9 OC-9 ' &, are used . Due to the nature ot tho Hawaiian Islands, i nter island flights a re the pri~ary, and often only, passenger link between islands. OVerseas operations provides air servi ce to the continental United States and Canada. Fli9ht distances are long, 2,400 Diles and greater . Generally, wide-bodied aircraft, ouch as McOOnnel l­Oouqlas DC-lO's, Lockheed L-lOll's, Boeing 767's, Boainq 777 -200'•• and la~ge narrow bodied aircraft~ such as Boeing 757's, are used. Aircrat~s used tor these two type ot air carrier operation& attects gato aasignmonts . As shown in the Gate Assignment Table i n Appendix 1 , while aircratt used tor interisland operation• can be accommodated at all gatos, those uaed tor overseas operation• aircrafts can ' t. These gate rostrictions will aftoct the aircraft mix that can be &CCOJilCiodated.

Aa •tated above . there are t~enty teroinal qates with loading bridqes at the airport. Nine gates are used tor over•aas operations {Cates 1. 5 , 7, 2J, 27 1 29, 33, 35, and 39) and seven qat•s are used ror interisland operations (Gates 9, 11. 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21) . 8ecau•e ot the space needed at adjacent gates to acco~odate large aircraft, cates 3, 25, 31, and 37, are seldOQ used . On the averaqo, there are 110 overaeas and 485 interisland departures tor a total of 595 departures p~r week . For the =onth of August 2000, there were 484 overseas and 2142

- 2-

Kahulu1 Airport Airline Competition Pl an

interisland departures for a total of 2626 departures per month . Gate utilization is twe lve overseas daparturesjgate per week (53 departures/gate per month) and sixty-n ine i nterisland departures/gate per week (306 departuresfqace per month) . Gate utilizat i on i s high , especially for inter i sland operations.

Because Airports Division controls ga t e assignments, t .he airport has flexibility in accommodating new gate demand by air carriers. However, due to high gate util i zation, there is an upper l imit on gate capac i ty . While Airports Division have accommodated all prev ious legiti mate gate requests , the potential ex i sts that once capacity is maximized , no additional gate request can be accommodated .

Patterns of Air service

on a scheduled, non- stop basis, service is provi ded to four interisland markets (Honolu lu, Kona , Hilo, and Lihue) and seven overseas markets (Oakland, Los Ange l es, san Francisco, Saint Loui s, Vancouver , Mi dway - origin only , and Phoeni x - destination only) . In addition, there arc charter flights serving three oversea~ markecs (Vancouver, Sa n Francisco , LOs Angeles) .

Leas i nq an4 SUbl oasinq Arrangements

Airports Div i s i on owns, in fee, t he terminal facilities at Kahulu i Airport . The airlines ar e charged tor uGi ng terminal facilities, either through a lease or revocable permit. Ai r field costs are recove.red t hrough a landing tee . Residual costs to ope rate the statewide airports s ystem is recovered through the Airports System s upport Charge (ASSC) . A lease with an airline v.•i ll contain conditions and renta l rates for a eot duration, usual l y one or more years . A revocabl e permi t p r ovides for use of the terminal faci l i ties, but contains language that allowz Airports Divi sion to cancel the pe rmit upon thirty days written notice . Other user based fees are assessed for common use areas and recovered on a per landing bas i s .

Subleasing is allowed only on a lease and i s prohibit·ed under a revocabl e permit . Conditions in the lease require DOT Airport approva l on any subl ease. Also, it's Airports Division's policy to deny, take all or portion of, or requi re a change to sublease rents which it considers excessive andfor speculative .

The existing ticket counters and a i r l ine office spaces i n the ticket l obby are completely occupied, either through a lease or revocabl e permit. If a new carrier reques"t:s ticket coum:er or office space, Airports Division will analyze usage of both leased and permi tted space in order to accommodate the request.

Current l y, there are three air carriers and four Fixed Base Operators (FBO) who provi de ground handling of air c r aft at Kahului Airport . Wh i le the FBO generally handl e general aviation and corporate clients, they also provide fuel for airline aircraft . All companies providing ground handling servi ces operat e either through a lease or revocable permit . Airports Division provides site preparation (gr ading, access , and utilities) of lease lots while t he g r ound handlers provide the fac i lities needed tor their operation. Currently, all improved

lease lots a re leased or under permit . Because of this lack of improved lease lots, new ground handling companies wi ll have to prepare, at their own expense , the unimproved l ease lots they will be using.

Financia l Constraints

Airports Divis i on operates a system ot fifteen airports, inc l udi ng Kahului Airport, within t he State of Hawaii. This system i s required, by State law, to be operated on a salt­sustaini ng basis. sources of revenues i ncludes aeronautical revenues, concession fees , interest i ncome, and other non­aeronautica l revenues.

Aeronautical revenues consist of landing fees, aeronaut ical rentals and system support charges. These charges are governed by the airport-airline lease extension agreement executed in June 1994 . Th is agreement. ettective 3uly 1 , 1994 to June 30, 1997 , with automatic quar t erly extensions thereafter, is between Airports Division and signatory a i rlines . Th is lease e xtension aqree~ent uses a res idual rate setting methodoloqy that excludes duty tree revenues in excess ot $100 million per year and any interest income earned on !unds set aside for the capital Improvement Program trom t he rate base. The rates and char9es establ i shed by formulae include (1) exclusive use terminal charges based on appraisal rates and recovered on a per square toot per year basis , (2) joint use pre~ise charges {for nonexclusive terminal space) based on appraisal rates and recovered on a per passenger revenue landing basis, (3) internationa l arrivals building charges based on appraisal rates and recovered on a per dep l aning international passenger basis, (4 ) landing fees based on a cost canter residual rate setting methodology and recovered on a revenue landi n9 landed wei ght basis , and ( 5) system support charqes based on an Airport System residual rate setting methodology and recovered on a landed weight basis . Nonsignatory airlines are assessed charges based on Airports Division ' s Administrative Rules .

Concession fees are the rentals and fees paid to Airports Division by private parties operating concessi o ns for the Ai rports System. Separate contracts are mainta ined for food and beverage , barber, foreign exchange, business center , parking services, ground transportati on, renta l car s, newsstands, shower and l ocker fac i lities , operati ons o t duty fee, florist, gift, sundries , camera and jewelry shops, telephone call board, and va rious vending services such as ATMs and luggage carts . The duty tree concession, an exclusive contract for the sale of in-

bond merchandise on a duty free basis is, by far, the l arqe$t concession contract , with revenues collected in Fiscal Year 1999 totaling approximately $104 million , 36 . 5% of t he total r evenues of the Airport System.

I nterest i ncome is derived primarily from the i nvestment of airports funds and the proceeds of bonds . Non- aeronaut i cal revenues other than concass i on fees are derived troD rental ot land, termina l building space, other buildings and structures to tenants other than the air carriers .

Currently, Airports Division has not imposed or used a ny PFC . However, this matter is under review and PPCs may be collected in the future .

capital construction Contro l s

The existing airport-airline lease extension agreement is based on a residual rate setting methOdology . This methodology provides for a final year- end reconc iliation containing actua l airports system cost data to determine whether airports system charges assessed to the signatory airlines were sufficient to recover airports system costs, including debt service requirements. A public/private partnership has been established between the s iqna~ory airlines and Airport s Di vision to hel p facilitate interaction on the airport-airline lease extension agreement .

The airport-airline lease extension provides a "concurrence" methodology for capital improvement projects i n excess ot the concurred capital i~provement program. New projects go through a concurre-nce process in which fifty percent ot the signatory airlines representing at least fifty percent of t he total l anding fees and a i rport system support charge can delay the project by withholding concurrence. However, t he lease extension allows Airports Div ision to proceed with a non-concurred project in the State Fiscal Year following the year concurrence was withheld . In essence, the airport-airline lease extension al lows the signatory airlines, by withholding concurrence, to delay a capital improvement project up to o ne year.

Current ly at Kahu lui Airport , there exists another control on Airports Division capital construction. Since 1992 , major capi~al improvement projects at Kahului Airport has been on hold due to c hallenges to the adequacy of the environmental impact statement in both Federal and State courts. On July 26, 2000, the Federal 9~~ Circuic Court ruled that the Federal EIS was

- 8 -

Kabulu l A~rt Al rl l De Coapeti tion Plan

adequate. In August 2000, hearings vere held at the State 2~ Circuit court , a deciaion ia expected by December 2000. These court challenges has held up capital improvement projects a t Kahului Airport for over eight years . Wh ile tho challenge i n tha Fodoral courts haG bean reaolved , the decision ot the State 2r.~ Circuit Court i s pendin9.

As stated abova, thoro are no Majorit y-In-Intereat (MII) lanquaqe in the airport-airline lease extension . Instead , there i s a "concurrence" proc.edure which, while similar to a Mil, only a llowa the siqnatory a irlines to delay a capit al iQProv&ment project for up to one year. In the six years a1nce the airport­airline leas e extension was siqned, no projects were ever delayed due to che lack ot airline concurrence. Also , tho previous airport-airline lease (1962-1992) had no lanquage related to MII or concurrence . The Airports Division and siqnatory airlines continue to operaee under the terms of the extension agreement which provides tor automatic extension on a quarterly basis unless either pa rty provides sixty days written notlco to thQ other party of termination.

While the airpor e-airline lca~e ext ension is a roaidual aqreement, there is no airline ma jority-in-interest clause.

Wh i le this "concurrence" clause oxists, t he s ignatory airlines have nevar exercised it . Terminal facilities ~t Kahului Airport, including gates, holdroom, and esp,ecially, tickot counter space , are nearing capacity. Airports Division retains the tlexibility on qate and holdroom aasiqnDents due eo airport ownership of the ter=inal tacilieies. However, the crieical constraint on the entry of new carriers is tho lack of ticket counter space. To =••t this constraint, Airports Division is currently designing the Terainal Development Phase I, • hich will provido a two bay extension to t he existinq ticket lobby within the termi nal shell.
