AIRPORT FIXED BASE OPERATOR (FBO) BUSINESS EVALUATION & AIRPORT RATES AND CHARGES STUDY

The Pease Development Authority is seeking a qualified consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive business evaluation of the Fixed‑Base Operator (FBO) at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease and to develop a revised, sustainable airport rates and charges schedule. The contractor will analyze current FBO operations, benchmark against industry best practices, identify revenue‑enhancing opportunities, and produce data‑driven recommendations for both FBO management and airport fee structures. Deliverables include detailed analytical reports, forecasts, and actionable recommendations. • Perform SWOT analysis of the existing private‑FBO model and assess market demand across general‑aviation, charter, and fractional‑ownership segments. • Benchmark the airport’s current user‑fee schedule against comparable airports, incorporating cost‑recovery principles and historical fee data. • Propose an equitable, financially sustainable rate structure and specific fee amounts, supported by market data and revenue forecasts. • Provide a final written report for each study, including implementation timelines and invoicing schedule.
