MEMORANDUM
K E N 4
210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city
TO: Terry Eubank, City Manager & Dave Swarner, Finance Director
THROUGH: Mary Bondurant, Interim Airport Manager
FROM: Julie Semmens, Administrative Assistant II
DATE: May 21, 2026
SUBJECT: PlanePass — Airspace Fee Billing & Collection Service
This memo is to provide awareness of an opportunity we recently discovered with Vector Airport
Systems for capturing landing and parking fees.
Vector Airport Systems offers a turn -key, automated aircraft identification and billing service called
PlanePass. PlanePass utilizes camera's, ADS-B, AirNav and FlightAware to track and identify
aircraft tail numbers. The system automatically bills the registered owner or operator for various
fees including landing and parking fees and has a successful 99.6% collection rate at one year.
Vector Airport Systems then charges a percentage of total landing fees collected as their fee.
This service has no upfront cost.
Due to Kenai Municipal Airport potentially being the first in the state to utilize the system, they are
offering a service fee percentage of 12% the first year and 16% the following two years for a three-
year contract.
When Vector Airport Systems pulled last year's data for Kenai Municipal Airport, it showed we
have significant leakage in collectable landing fees. The landing data collected July 2025-March
2026 shows missed revenue totaling around $136,000. Landing fees are currently collected using
an honor -only system. Airport staff are only available 8 out of 24 hours of the day, 5 days a week,
that aircraft operate and are unable to dedicate their full attention to tracking and billing signatory,
non -signatory, and all other transient air traffic. In short, the data appears to show the addition of
Planepass will increase overall revenue to the airport and allow staff to focus time and energy on
other pressing matters. Based on fiscal year -to date data, we can expect to spend around
$70,000 in fees owed to Vector Airport Systems, and increase after -expense profit to the airport
by around $80,000 per year. Attached you will find Exhibits A, B, C, and D with additional
information and reports on this product.
We appreciate your consideration of this opportunity and look forward to scheduling a meeting to
discuss.
