The top 4 airlines carry 91% of the passengers at KCI, none of the top 4 airlines are exiting the 27th largest metropolitan area. To claim building a new terminal that the airlines are asking for is somehow going to cost so much it will result in the airlines leaving is nonsense.<br /><br />9:41 - You don't seem to understand that the billions for sewers, streets, and sidewalks have nothing to do with the airport because you brought it up again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-37826770195010474182017-06-29T09:41:01.887-05:002017-06-29T09:41:01.887-05:00I understand revenue bonds.

In addition while funds may stay with the airport what happens if airport revenue doesn't cover bond payments? If they raise fees too high on airlines some may exit MCI. At that point the city would be forced to use general fund revenue to pay off the bonds even if not legally required to. Would they let bondholders foreclose on the airport?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-60861881562452489442017-06-29T08:56:19.837-05:002017-06-29T08:56:19.837-05:00Buy your new car from Ernie Frye Ford...buy your n...Buy your new car from Ernie Frye Ford...buy your new car from Ernie Frye Ford...buy your new car from Ernie Frye Ford...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-80544665290997772332017-06-29T08:49:43.753-05:002017-06-29T08:49:43.753-05:00Whether a new airport terminal is publicly finance...Whether a new airport terminal is publicly financed, privately financed, or never built, the airport revenue doesn't go anywhere but the airport. Even though the City 'owns' the airport it is basically a completely separate business that really has nothing to do with the City. In addition, the way the leases for the airlines work is airport revenue is a zero sum game, the airport can't magically generate an extra $100 million in revenue over their expenses that could then be used to pay for police, streets, sewers or schools, the amount the airlines pay for rent and landing fees is set based on what the airport costs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-55060357830326246332017-06-29T00:20:06.634-05:002017-06-29T00:20:06.634-05:00Why don't you say Something about corporate po...Why don't you say Something about corporate power for a change.

The relevant question is whether airport usage will increase to the point that enplanement fees generate enough revenue to pay the debt, along with all the other day-to-day obligations. If it's private debt the lenders will presumably require the terminal as collateral and/or require the city provide a general fund guaranty. Banks and investors don't send money out their doors without a back-up plan for getting repaid. If it's public debt, the market will presumably also demand a general fund guaranty. Either way, it all works as planned only if the airport grows as expected. I keep hearing that the airlines will pay for everything. The airlines are businesses, not the public's friends. They're not going to cover any shortfall. They wouldn't do that even if they had a contract that required it. They know that if push comes to shove and they threaten to cut back or leave altogether the city will come to their rescue. It always comes back to the same place. At the end of the day kansas city residents will be guaranteeing this debt, one way or another. Pray the airport thrives.
