There are three types of rates and charges set forth in this Article: (1) Landing Fees and Ramp Tower Fees for the use of the Airfield (described in Sections 6.2 and 6.10 below); (2) Terminal Rents for the use of various kinds of space and equipment in the Terminal (described in Sections 6.3 and 6.5 through 6.9 below); and (3) FIS Fees, for the use of the FIS Facility (described in Section 6.4 below). In calculating the revenue requirements used to derive each of these kinds of 8 rates and charges, the Port shall exclude any cost (net of the cost of collection) that (a) has been reimbursed or covered by government grants or PFC's, (b) has been reimbursed or covered by any insurance recovery, condemnation proceeds or other third-party payment, or (c) has been reimbursed or is required to be reimbursed to the Port by an individual Airline in connection with projects undertaken by the Port at the request and for the benefit of an individual Airline. Illustrative calculations displaying how rates and charges will be calculated under the methodology set forth in this Article 6 are attached as Exhibit A through Exhibit J. 6.1.2 Airline Consultations on Proposed Rates and Charges. No later than November 1 of each year, the Managing Director shall provide each Airline then currently operating scheduled passenger or cargo service at the Airport with a complete copy of the then proposed rates and charges, calculated in accordance with this Article 6, for the succeeding Fiscal Year. The Managing Director shall consult with the AAAC concerning the then proposed rates and charges. No later than December 1 of each year, the Managing Director shall make any revisions to the proposed rates and charges as the Managing Director determines, in his or her sole discretion, to be warranted as a result of consultation with the AAAC or otherwise, and shall provide written notice to each Airline then currently operating scheduled passenger or cargo service at the Airport of the new rates and charges to be effective on January 1 of the following calendar year. A copy of the notice shall be posted on the Port's website. 6.2 Calculation of the Landing Fee. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Landing Fee for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 6.2.1 The Airfield Movement Area Requirement shall be computed as the total of budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Airfield Movement Area, less Other Airfield Movement Area Revenue, for the following Fiscal Year. 6.2.2 The estimated Landing Fee shall then be calculated by dividing the Airfield Movement Area Requirement by the estimated total Maximum Gross Landed Weight ("MGLW") for the following Fiscal Year. The Port may use historical MGLW or forecasts of MGLW that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Landing Fee. 6.2.3 Each Airline shall pay to the Port Landing Fees for its use of the Airfield Movement Area calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Landing Fee by the Airline's total Landed Weight for the preceding month. 6.3 Calculation of Terminal Rents. Each year the Port shall calculate estimated Terminal Rents for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 6.3.1 The Terminal Building Requirement shall be computed as the total of the budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Terminal for the following Fiscal Year. The Terminal Building Requirement shall not include Common Use Baggage System Costs, Passenger Loading Bridge Costs, Airline Support System and Equipment Costs or Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocated to the FIS Facility. 9 6.3.2 The estimated Terminal Rental Rate shall then be calculated by dividing the Terminal Building Requirement by the estimated total amount of Rentable Space. The Port may use the actual amount of Rentable Space in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year in calculating the estimated Terminal Rental Rate. 6.3.4 Each Airline occupying Exclusive Use Space shall pay to the Port Terminal Rent for its use of such space calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the square footage of such space by the estimated Terminal Rental Rate. 6.4 Calculation of the FIS Rate. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated FIS Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 6.4.1 The estimated FIS Requirement shall be computed as the sum of (a) the total of the budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the FIS Facility; and (b) the total of the budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common Use Baggage Claim Area serving the FIS Facility; less (c) any estimated revenue from the rental of space in the FIS Facility to governmental agencies, for the following Fiscal Year. 6.4.2 The estimated FIS Rate shall then be calculated by dividing the FIS Requirement by the estimated total number of Deplaned International Passengers for the following Fiscal Year. The Port may use the actual number of Deplaned International Passengers in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated FIS Rate. 6.4.3 Each Airline using the FIS shall pay to the Port FIS Fees for its use of the FIS Facility calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the FIS Fee by the Airline's total Deplaned International Passengers for the preceding month. 6.5 Calculation of Common Use Gate Turn Fees. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Common Use Gate Turn Fees for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 6.5.1 The estimated Common Use Gate Requirement shall be computed as the sum of (a) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the total square footage of all Common Use Gates; (b) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the total square footage of the Security Checkpoint Area; (c) the total of the Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to Airline Support Systems and Equipment other than Baggage Systems and Passenger Loading Bridges; and (d) the O&M Expenses allocable to airline realignment projects, for the next Fiscal Year. 6.5.2 The Port shall then calculate three separate Common Use Gate Turn Fees for use of Common Use Gates by the three different classes of aircraft shown in the table below. 10 Class 1: Wide Body (dual-aisle aircraft) Class 2: Narrow Body (single-aisle aircraft, over 100 seats) Class 3: Regional and Commuter (aircraft with 100 or fewer seats) The charges for use of Common Use Gates by aircraft within each of these classes shall bear the following relativities to each other: Relative Charge per Turn Class 1: 2.00x Class 2: 1.00x Class 3: .50x For rate-setting purposes, the charges per Turn for each of these three classes of aircraft will be calculated (normalized) so that expected aggregate Common Use Gates Turn Fees equal the Common Use Gate Requirement. 6.5.3 Each Airline using any Common Use Gates shall pay to the Port Common Use Gate Turn Fees for its use of Common Use Gates calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the applicable Common Use Gate Turn Fee by the number of the Airline's Turns in each designated aircraft class at the Terminal for the preceding month. 6.5.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.5.3, an Airline shall not be charged Common Use Gate Turn Fees for the use of any given Common Use Gate on any given day that exceed the daily Gate Turn Fee Cap. The daily Gate Turn Fee Cap shall equal eight (8) times the Common Use Gate Turn fee for a Narrow Body aircraft. 6.6 Calculation of Common Use Baggage Claim Rate. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Common Use Baggage Claim Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 6.6.1 The estimated Common Use Baggage Claim System Requirement shall be computed as the sum of (a) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the total square footage of the Common Use Baggage Claim Area; and (b) the Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common Use Baggage Claim System (excluding the Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common Use Baggage Claim System serving the FIS Facility). 6.6.2 The estimated Common Use Baggage Claim Rate shall then be calculated by dividing the Common Use Baggage Claim System Requirement by the estimated total annual number of Inbound Checked Bags. The Port may use the actual number of Inbound Checked Bags in the most recent year for which Inbound Checked Bags data are available or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Common Use Baggage Claim Rate. 6.6.3 Each Airline shall pay to the Port Common Use Baggage Claim Fees for its use of the Common Use Baggage Claim Area calculated for each calendar month by 11 multiplying the Common Use Baggage Claim Rate by the Airline's total Inbound Checked Bags for the preceding month. 6.7 Calculation of Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 6.7.1 The estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup System Requirement shall be computed as the sum of (a) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the total square footage of the Common Use Baggage Makeup Area; and (b) the Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common Use Baggage Makeup System. 6.7.2 The estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate shall then be calculated by dividing the Common Use Baggage Makeup System Requirement by the estimated total annual number Outbound Checked Bags. The Port may use the act ual number of Outbound Checked Bags in the most recent year for which Inbound Checked Bags data are available or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate. 6.7.3 Each Airline shall pay to the Port Common Use Baggage Makeup Fees for its use of the Common Use Baggage Makeup Area calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate by the Airline's total Outbound Checked Bags for the preceding month. 6.8 Calculation of Common Use Ticket Counter Rate. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 6.8.1 The estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Requirement shall be computed as the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the total square footage of all of the Common Use Ticket Counter Space. 6.8.2 The estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Rate shall then be calculated by dividing the Common Use Ticket Counter Requirement by the estimated total annual number of hours of use of Common Use Ticket Counters. The Port may use the actual number of hours of use of Common Use Ticket Counters in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Rate. 6.8.3 Each Airline shall pay to the Port Common Use Ticket Counter Fees for its use of the Common Use Ticket Counters calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Common Use Ticket Counter Rate by the Airline's total hours of use of Common Use Ticket Counters for the preceding month. 6.9 Calculation of Passenger Loading Bridge Rate. 6.9.1 Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Passenger Loading Bridge Rate for the next Fiscal Year by dividing the sum of the budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to Passenger Loading Bridges by the estimated total number of 12 Turns on Gates with Port-owned Passenger Loading Bridges. The Port may use the actual number of Turns on such Gates in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Passenger Loading Bridge Rate. 6.9.2 Each Airline shall pay to the Port Passenger Loading Bridge Fees for its use of Passenger Loading Bridges calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Passenger Loading Bridge Rate by the Airline's total number of Turns on Gates with Port-owned Passenger Loading Bridges. 6.10 Calculation of the Ramp Tower Fee. 6.10.1 Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Ramp Tower Fee for the next Fiscal Year by dividing the budgeted O&M Expenses allocable to the Ramp Tower by the estimated total number of Landings for the following Fiscal Year. The Port may use actual historical Landings or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Ramp Tower Fee. 6.10.2 Each Airline shall pay to the Port Ramp Tower Fees for the services of the Ramp Tower calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Ramp Tower Fee by the Airline's total Landings for the preceding month. 6.11 Calculation of the Apron Fee.
