AIRPORT DISTRICT -- The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority
unanimously approved a change to its fees for off-site airport parking
operators that could mean a $535,000 boost to the airport's yearly
revenue.
Monday's Airport Authority meeting had a full house that included
representatives from Carter's VSP Parking, the Burbank Airport Hilton and
Zelman Development Corp., all of whom will be affected by the fee change.
The new rates will go into effect June 1, and include raising the
entrance fee for limos, charter buses and shuttles from $1 to $1.50, from zero to $1.50 for hotel/motel courtesy vehicles, and from between zero
and $100 per month for off-airport lot operators to 10% of gross receipts
plus $1.50 per trip.
For Carter's, as much of 15% of its gross revenue could be going to
the Airport Authority as a result of the change, Vice President Derek R.
Sweet said. While he didn't expect the increase to reach the consumer
immediately, he anticipated that it would at some point.
