This project is a pay-as-you-go project and is the sponsor’s share (5%) of the project cost of an Airport Improvement Project.

The proposed charge effective date is June 1, 2016. The estimated expiration date is June 1, 2034. The estimated PFC revenue for application no. 2 is $425,304.
The San Luis Valley Regional Airport is requesting to exempt all air taxi/commercial operators filing FAA
Form 1800-31 from collection of the PFC. The known carrier in this class is Mountain View Aeromotive.
The annual estimated number of passengers enplaned by this class is less than 100. The Alamosa Board of County Commissioners desires to exempt this class of carriers, because the administrative costs for the carrier and the airport are considered excessive for the small amount of revenue received.
In accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation 49 CFR Part 158 comments are being accepted until
February 26, 2016. Comments or a request for more detailed information may be mailed to Mr. Francis
Song, Airport Manager, 8900-A Independence Way, Alamosa, Colorado, 81101, or emailed to fsong@alamosacounty.org
