Longmont Revives Airport Landing Fee Discussion

# Longmont Airport Landing Fee Discussion

Longmont’s city council has directed staff to develop new fee structures for Vance Brand Municipal Airport, including a proposed landing fee of $2 per 1,000 pounds, after a recent rates study indicated current charges are insufficient for long-term financial sustainability. The close 4-3 vote reflects ongoing debate about the controversial proposal, which was rejected less than a year ago at a higher $5 per 1,000 pounds rate. Colorado pilots operating from Vance Brand should monitor this development, as any new fee structure could impact their operating costs at this general aviation facility.
