Information

Referral History:

On March 1, 2016, The Board of Supervisors approved a month-to-month rental agreement between the County and JetSuiteX to permit their new scheduled charter service to operate at Buchanan Field. JetSuiteX had their inaugural flight in April 2016 from Buchanan Field to Burbank. Since that time JetSuiteX now offers two to three daily flights to Burbank and recently expanded to offer two direct weekend service options to Las Vegas.

Referral Update:

April 2019 marked JetSuiteX’s third anniversary operating at Buchanan Field; one of its inaugural locations. Their business model has proved successful as they continue to increase the number of flights and expand to new locations.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Discuss JetSuiteX passenger traffic growth between 2016 and 2019. This is a general discussion of the JetSuiteX passenger traffic, concession fee, and fuel flowage fee increases from 2016 to 2019 (see attached chart).

Fiscal Impact (if any):

The Airport Enterprise Fund receives an enplanement fee for each flight plus a fuel flowage fee. The total enplanement fees have increased by 196% (from $28,065 to $83,060) and the fuel flowage fees have increased by 170% (from $11,336 to $30,552) over the first three years. The County General Fund realizes sales tax and other revenues from their operations.
