4 B. GSP Airport Concession Program. Mr. Carr presented that RJ Rockers, Thomas Creek Grill, and Hudson News will all open stores on Wednesday, July 16 th. RJ Rockers Flight Room is representing the Spartanburg Community. Some unique features include: handmade clock out of beer bottles, old style seating, and murals of the airfield. Thomas Creek Grill is representing the Greenville Community and some of the unique features include: a new bar area with craft beers highlighted, and a mural painted by a local artist which incorporates all the different beer labels by Thomas Creek Brewery. Mr. Carr stated the sign bands for all of the new stores are temporary and the final product will be installed in a few weeks. A larger Hudson News store, Dunkin Donuts, and Flatwood Grill will be located in Baggage Claim. Ms. Miller asked if the Flatwood Grill menu will have the history of why it is called Flatwood Grill. Mr. Carr stated no, it is a grab-and-go concept and does not have menus. Mr. Carr stated there is a lot of history incorporated into the wallpaper. Mr. Edwards also stated a bronze plaque and dedication will be done and folks from the Flatwood Community will be invited to the event. Mr. Carr stated that when the concourse restaurants open, Windows restaurant will close except for the counter portion. Once Flatwood Grill, Dunkin Donuts, and the larger Hudson Store opens, Windows restaurant will close in its entirety. The snack bars on both concourses will remain open until the core is open. Chair Shaw stated, Staff has done a good job of explaining to our customers what is happening at the airport. Will signage be posted concerning the closing of Windows? Mr. Carr stated yes, signage will be put up along with communication via social media. Mr. Edwards thanked Mr. Carr for his hard work in making sure everything went well with the new concessions and his instrumental hand in making sure there were two (2) different concepts with the restaurants. OLD BUSINESS: None. NEW BUSINESS: None. PRESIDENT/CEO REPORT: A. Aviation Industry Report. Mr. Edwards stated work continues with AIP Authorization and the focus will be to get a Bill passed. All of the same key issues are still out there as it relates to the levels of AIP Funding, as well as the PFC issue. Industry leaders continue

5 discussions and they are going to flow some things to ACI-NA to see if a few items can get incorporated into the Bill such as; the process for AIP Grant Applications for Entitlement Funds and the unnecessary new wording related to specific federal laws and executive orders that have been imposed in recent months. All of the contracts state that you have to abide by all Federal and State laws which should cover everything. A new security threat has been identified, therefore, when traveling from overseas to the United States all passengers are required to power on all electronic devices to make sure they are actually operational instead of a dead device. Airlines continue to be extremely profitable and from a traffic standpoint numbers are up nationally. B ACI-NA Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA: The ACI-NA Annual Conference will be in Atlanta in September. Please let us know if you plan to attend C. Report on ACI-NA Jumpstart Conference: ACI-NA Jumpstart Conference was held in June and Staff had seven (7) meetings, which included Delta, Southwest, American, United, Air Canada, West Jet, and Republic. All meetings were positive and all of the incumbent carriers are happy with how they are performing in the markets they currently serve. Discussions will continue with Air Canada about possible service to Montreal or Toronto. At this time, West Jet is looking for locations that provide a high level of leisure travel. Discussions will also continue with incumbent carriers concerning expanding service and focusing on up gaging the aircraft to a larger two (2) class service. American Airlines will also increase capacity to Dallas in the fall. Mr. Stanis Smith from Stantec, gave an outstanding presentation at the conference on balancing terminal functionality, advertising and art. Mr. Smith has a great vision and it would be beneficial to meet with him. INFORMATION SECTION: Chair Shaw asked if anyone has any comments or questions concerning the information section. Ms. Miller asked if we can show any correlation between the PR campaign and traffic being up for Southwest. Mr. Edwards stated Staff has recently received some information but has not reviewed it. It does appear that the outreach went well and has helped drive some traffic to Southwest. Once the data is reviewed, Mr. Edwards will share with the Commission. COMMISSION MEMBER REPORTS:

15 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Members of the Airport Commission David Edwards, President/CEO DATE: September 22, 2014 ITEM DESCRIPTION Information Section Item A July Traffic Report SUMMARY For July 2014 passenger traffic was up 2.2% over the same month in Cargo traffic was up 10.4% for July 2014 over July The average load factor for all airlines was 87.6% up from 76.5% in 2013 planes continue to run full. Providing a look forward into the service levels for October 2014 is a schedule comparison for the month vs the same month last year including flights and seats by airline and non-stop market served. While there were minor adjustments to seat capacity, the largest impact on flights and seats is related to Southwest s reduction of service to Nashville. In addition, the elimination of air service to Cleveland contributes to the reduced numbers. As such flights are down 2.8%, but seat capacity is up 0.8% due to additional larger aircraft being flown in the GSP market. A comparison of the North America National Passenger Traffic Growth Averages for 2014 to GSP s Passenger Traffic Growth is depicted below: 2000 GSP Drive, Suite 1 Greer, SC Greenville: Spartanburg: Fax:

Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport dedicates new restaurant By Trevor Anderson trevor.anderson@shj.com Published: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 5:32 p.m. The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport has named its newest restaurant in honor of a historic farming community in Spartanburg County. Officials and business leaders gathered at the eatery Wednesday for the dedication of the airport's new Flatwood Grill. The grill is the focal point of a new dining and retail area that recently opened next to baggage claim as part of the airport's $125 million main terminal improvement plan WINGSPAN. It is bordered by a Hudson travel store and Dunkin' Donuts. This is an important part of the project for us, said Dave Edwards, president and CEO of GSP. We knew we had to do something special. We never want that community to be forgotten. MICHAEL JUSTUS/michael.justus@shj.com From left to right, Dave Edwards, president and CEO of the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, (GSP), F.E. Hendrix, representing the Flatwood Community, Minor Shaw, chairman of the GSP commission, and Thomas Kornacki, of SVP Food and Beverage, Hudson Group, participate in a dedication ceremony held for the new Flatwood Grill at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport on Wednesday. The airport currently sits on a portion of what was once the Flatwood Community. The Flatwood Grill is part of WINGSPAN, the airport's $125 million terminal improvement program. Edwards said GSP officials chose the name to honor the community that once thrived across several hundred acres of lush farmland in western Spartanburg County spanning from Highway 14 to Highway 101. Much of the land was flat, which made it perfect for growing cotton, then peaches, grains, corn and cattle. For that same reason, it was a prime location to build an airport. In 1962, local leaders broke ground on the airport, and the community around it began to change, but not fade away. We are proud and excited, Edwards said. A lot of emotion went into this. There aren't too many of the (Flatwood community residents) left today. It's a very monumental event for us overall. The grill will serve an array of American dishes. Its walls are accented with old photos of downtown Spartanburg, Downtown Memorial Airport, aerial views of GSP during its early days, a picture of a Flatwood peach field and other airport shots. This is a great day for all of us who had a relationship with the Flatwood community, said F.E. Hendrix, who played first base for the Flatwood Peaches, the community's baseball team that was once part of the Spartanburg County Twilight League. Without Flatwood, we wouldn't have GSP. Without GSP,we wouldn't have

50 BMW. And without BMW, we wouldn't have 8,000 jobs Without all of these things working together, none of this would have been accomplished. In 1999, BMW Manufacturing Co. placed a historical marker honoring the Flatwood Peaches on its property across from the airport's entrance off Brockman McClimon Road. A mural of the baseball team is featured in the grill. GSP has always been a good way for (the Upstate) to convey its identity, said Max Metcalf, a spokesman for BMW Manufacturing Co. That is why GSP and BMW have partnered together to recognize the Flatwood community You can't have a future without a past. Hoss Owens was a right fielder for the Peaches. He remembers 600 to 700 people showing up for the games on Saturday afternoons. I've seen people (at the dedication ceremony) that I haven't seen in 62 years, Owens said. The Flatwood community was made up of good people. It makes you feel good to see something like this happen today. It lets you know that you were a part of something special. Flatwood Grill, Hudson and Dunkin' Donuts will be operated by GSP's concessionaire the Hudson Group.

" MENU AOA Fares Up, Flights Down as AirTran Prepares to Depart KELLY YAMANOUCHI ON AUG 26, 2014 SOURCE: THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION Aug. 25--What do you get when you merge one low-cost airline with another? In Atlanta, the math says you get higher fares. As AirTran Airways' final days draw near and it is fully absorbed by Southwest Airlines, the assumption that creating a larger, low-cost carrier would bring consumer benefits to Atlanta has been overshadowed by fare hikes and route cuts. It was that idea -- or at least the idea an AirTran- Southwest union wouldn't hurt competition -- that led antitrust regulators to approve the $1 billion deal in But Southwest has slashed flights in Atlanta as its dismantles AirTran's hub, reducing competition with dominant Delta Air Lines. While fares are up in many markets, Atlanta has been hit with some of the highest increases in the nation for four straight quarters, according to federal figures. And that's before AirTran's frequent flier program ends Nov. 1 and its last flight takes off from Atlanta to Tampa on Dec. 28. To Diana Moss, vice president of the American Antitrust Institute, the disappearance of AirTran eliminates "a maverick, a low-cost disruptive firm that kept everybody else on their toes." AirTran, founded in 1993 as ValuJet, was a more aggressive discounter than Southwest, Moss said, and the merger took that competition out of the mix. Antitrust attorney Joe Alioto said a wave of airline mergers in the last six years including Southwest- AirTran, American-US Airways, United-Continental and Delta-Northwest has enabled carriers to raise fares and charge travelers more fees -- although Southwest has maintained a free checked baggage policy. Carriers that charge such fees "made over $6 billion just on their so-called baggage fees and extra charges. They would never get away with that stuff if there were competition," Alioto said. Positive force The expansion of Dallas-based discount king Southwest through a major merger was seen by some to be a positive force for consumers. Some industry watchers predicted a Southwest-AirTran deal would create more competition against the old established guard of legacy carriers like Delta, American and United. The U.S. Justice Department cited the benefits of low-cost carriers when it gave its antitrust approval. The merger "is not likely to substantially lessen competition," according to the Justice Department's antitrust division in 2011 when it cleared the Southwest-AirTran deal. "The merged firm will be able to offer new service on routes that neither serves today," the Justice

52 Department's statement said. It added that "the presence of low cost carriers like Southwest and AirTran has been shown to lower fares on routes previously served only by incumbent legacy carriers." But that analysis may have not included some factors -- notably Southwest's eventual decision to dismantle AirTran's Atlanta hub and cut operations at Hartsfield-Jackson. That move reduced competition on more than a dozen routes. Southwest-AirTran's market share at Hartsfield-Jackson has shrunk from 16 percent to 11 percent, while Delta's has increased from nearly 78 percent to nearly 83 percent over the last four years. Total passenger counts were down 1.1 percent in 2013, and are up 0.75 percent for the first half of this year. While Southwest has added several routes from Atlanta and operates larger planes than some of AirTran's aircraft, it has cut more. Before the merger AirTran operated about 220 daily flights from Atlanta, while Southwest now operates about 142. That will drop to about 125 in January, a slower time of year, after all AirTran flights have disappeared. Total reduction: more than 35 percent. And while AirTran operated flights from Hartsfield- Jackson to six Caribbean destinations, Southwest as of January 2015 will operate only two: Cancun and Punta Cana. Since Southwest acquired AirTran, Atlanta fares adjusted for inflation have increased 6.2 percent over the past three years, from an average domestic fare of $ to $404.58, according to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Nationally, the average air fare was $381 in the first quarter, up 1.2 percent over the past three years. Southwest spokeswoman Thais Conway said Southwest is still "delivering on the low-fare promise we made... We were able to continue the good work and the low prices that AirTran had begun." She said higher fuel prices have driven up fares, adding that Southwest's policies for free checked bags and no change fees "provides a great advantage for current and potential customers." 'An apocryphal story' That's in line with Southwest's image as the best-known discount airline in the country. But Alioto, the antitrust attorney, said AirTran was playing a key role in keeping prices low, and that was lost in the merger. "There was an apocryphal story that Southwest was keeping the major airlines in line on prices. However, they were being kept in line by AirTran," he said. "AirTran was eliminated, Southwest was no longer in line and neither were the majors, because Southwest joined them... Southwest began to increase its prices everywhere." Alioto filed a lawsuit challenging the Southwest-AirTran deal, claiming travelers have suffered from reduced competition. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the lawsuit,and Alioto has asked the Supreme Court to take up the case. Yet the Southwest-AirTran merger is hardly an outlier. It is one of four major mergers in recent years that also saw Delta absorb Northwest, United swallow Continental and American subsume US Airways. Now, American, United, Delta and Southwest handle about 85 percent of U.S. passenger traffic, based on 2013 figures. The leading airline industry group, Airlines for America, says mergers have helped airlines become more financially stable. "Consumers win when airlines are strong, able to compete and reinvest in their business with new planes, products and destinations," said Airlines for America Jean Medina in a written statement. The remaining airlines may be stronger, reporting

53 billions in profits. But with fewer significant competitors it's easier to raise fares and cut unprofitable routes. Reduced growth? Southwest's reductions could reduce the Atlanta airport's growth plans for years to come. Earlier this year, a master plan update was delayed as planners scaled back traffic forecasts because of Southwest's dismantling of AirTran's hub. That is likely to contribute to reduced demand for more gates and concourses and delay the need for a sixth runway. It's a turnabout for Hartsfield-Jackson, where AirTran rapidly grew through the mid-2000s. AirTran sought to gain a critical mass with its Atlanta hub by offering low fares and more flights. That sometimes led to it lose millions of dollars. But Southwest, which boasts a 41-year profit streak, does not operate a traditional "hub-and-spoke" network. Southwest focuses on point-to-point service, instead of connecting passengers through a hub. Southwest executives did not say they planned to pull down AirTran's hub operation when the merger was announced, waiting until a year later to disclose the strategy. Without the millions of AirTran connecting passengers to fill up flights, many routes no longer made economic sense to Southwest, leading to flight cuts. In addition, employment in Atlanta has fallen from 5,300 pre-merger to 3,500 now. Moss said there is little accountability when merger results turn out different from Justice Department expectations. "Once the merger has gone through, there's no DOJ going back to the airlines saying, 'Okay you guys, let's see what you promised us.'
