He stated that he believed it was appropriate for the day s meeting to be held at the Airport. As a result of all of its improvements and enhancements, Dulles International is in a much stronger competitive position than a couple of years ago. Mr. Potter noted that many of the improvements at the Airport are also giving customers a better travel experience than they have enjoyed in the past. He then highlighted and celebrated some of the very positive events that Chris Browne, Vice President and Airport Manager, and his outstanding team are doing and working on in conjunction with the Office of Revenue and other functions of the Airports Authority so that Dulles International can become even more of a world class facility.
Mr. Potter reported that in addition to the new website, wayfinding features, parking improvements, and other innovations that have been discussed in the past, the Airports Authority s concessions renovation program continues to bring new shopping and dining opportunities to passengers. In recent months, Mr. Potter stated that a new duty-free shop, a number of new restaurants, including The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck, new newsstands and coffee shops, and a full-service spa had opened at Dulles International. He noted that the new shopping and dining offerings are receiving positive reviews from passengers. Additionally, Mr. Potter reported that families traveling with children are now able to enjoy an aviation-themed play area called Kids Funway. He stated that the team at Dulles International partnered with the National Aeronautical and Space Administration to install the new play area in Concourse B near Gate 70 which features a cartoon-like replica of the Dulles Tower and interactive games for youngsters, as well as seating and charging stations for parents. Mr. Potter reported that the Airports Authority s partners at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have implemented a new system in the Concourse C facility for international screening that makes passport and CBP processing much faster and easier for passengers arriving from an international destination. He stated that Dulles International is the test site for a new technology called Modified Egress, which involves eliminating the need for secondary contact with Customs officers at the end of the arrivals process. Thus far, the test has had positive results, and the Airports Authority is planning to expand the protocol to the International Arrivals Building (IAB) for all passengers in the Main Terminal. Mr. Potter thanked CBP for working diligently on the new technology to improve the international arrivals experience. Mr. Potter reported that Dulles International is also adding new airlines and new destinations. The Airline Business Development Team will provide details later in the day's meeting. Mr. Potter noted that a few weeks ago officials of Turkish Airlines and the Turkish Ambassador to the United States were at Dulles International to dedicate a beautiful new lounge for Turkish Airlines passengers, which will help to make the experience at Dulles International much more pleasant for those travelers. Mr. Potter also reported that the October 17 United Way Golf Tournament had raised $47,000 for charitable causes in this region. As
reported in September, Mr. Potter recalled the recent Dulles Day and Plane Pull event raised over $350,000 for the Special Olympics. Mr. Potter referenced the previous presentation [from the day s Dulles Corridor Committee Meeting] and expressed excitement to see the beginnings of the Airport Rail Station, the elevated track structures rising from the ground, and all the progress that had occurred on the Project. He said that he believed it is another indication that things are moving in the right direction at Dulles International and that the Airports Authority is planning for the future. A commitment to the passenger, to the customer, and to making Dulles International a better experience for customers is visible throughout. Mr. Potter stated that the Airports Authority has also been working diligently on a number of fronts to strengthen the competitive position of Dulles International, particularly reducing the cost per enplanement (CPE). He explained that a reduced CPE would enable airline partners to be more profitable at Dulles International. Mr. Potter noted that the CPE, which is a key factor for airlines in deciding which airports to serve, at Dulles International had been amongst the highest in the nation. He explained that the CPE had been driven largely by the need to service the $5 billion of debt that was incurred as a result of building many of the world-class facilities visible at Dulles International, including the IAB, AeroTrain underground transit system that connects the Main Terminal to the concourses, additional airline gates and expansion of the Terminal Building, and new parking garages. Mr. Potter reported that the Airports Authority s focus on lowering the CPE has centered on controlling its budgets, recruiting new airlines and destinations, and increasing its non-airline revenue. He noted that another important factor in this effort over the next two years is the $50 million in financial assistance from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Mr. Potter stated that the Airports Authority is grateful to Governor McAuliffe and his Administration at the Virginia General Assembly for this important vote of confidence in Dulles International and its contribution to the Commonweath and regional economy. He explained that the $50 million from Virginia came with a condition that Dulles International retains its status as a major airline hub. Mr. Potter stated that that goal was met just a few days ago when United Airlines (United), the carrier with the largest presence at the Airport, signed an extension of its Use and Lease Agreement with the Airports Authority for an additional seven years, through 2024. The long-term lease extension continues United's
longstanding presence at Dulles International, which dates back to its establishment of domestic and international hub operations at the Airport in 1986. The current Use and Lease Agreement also allows revenue sharing between Ronald Reagan Washington National (Reagan National) and Dulles International for the first time, transferring up to $300 million of revenue from Reagan National to Dulles International over 10 years, which was another big factor in lowering the CPE at Dulles International. Mr. Potter stated that all of the initiatives are resulting in a decreased CPE at Dulles International. In 2014, the CPE for 2017 was projected at a level of $31. Currently, today s estimate for the 2017 CPE is less than $20. Mr. Potter reported that Andy Rountree, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, would provide more information during the day s presentation on the 2017 draft budget. b. Executive Vice Presidents Reports Ms. McKeough reported that August air traffic statistics were located under Tab 15 in the materials provided for the day s meeting. The passenger traffic activity at Dulles International had increased in August for the third consecutive month. Additionally, for the second consecutive month this year, the total volume of passengers at Dulles International had exceeded the total number of passengers at Reagan National. Ms. McKeough reported that approximately 2.1 million passengers were served in August at Dulles International, which represented a 2.5- percent increase over the passenger activity levels in August 2015 and 110,000 more passengers than the number of passengers served at Reagan National in August 2016. At Reagan National, the overall passenger activity level for August was consistent with the level of passengers of the prior year. Ms. McKeough reported that the Airports Authority continued to track well with meeting its projections for passenger traffic activity at both Airports. Ms. McKeough provided information on the recent Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration s (FAA) ban for passengers to travel with a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. She explained that the major responsibilities that the FAA established are primarily executed by the airlines with some support and assistance from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Ms. McKeough reported that TSA is not allowing passengers to travel through the security
checkpoint if they are traveling with a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. While the airlines are primarily responsible to ensure that passengers are aware of the ban, it is the Airports Authority s job to assist its customers. When the ban became effective during the previous weekend, the Airports Authority staff mobilized to place signage at both Airports and to communicate the information through the use of the website, Twitter, and audio announcements made in the Airports terminals. Ms. McKeough stated that the Airports Authority is happy that Reagan National and Dulles International are receiving support from Samsung with officials present in facilities prior to security checkpoints at both Airports to provide direct assistance to customers should they need it. Thus far, there have been a minimal amount of issues that needed to be directly addressed. Ms. Hanley asked about the meaning of direct assistance. Ms. McKeough clarified that officials providing direct assistance could exchange the phone or provide a form of credit if the traveler chose to exchange the phone at a future time. She noted that all airports did not have presence from Samsung officials, and that the Airports Authority was very pleased to facilitate that opportunity for passengers with assistance from the airlines and the FAA. Ms. McKeough reported that the Airports Authority will simulate an emergency preparedness exercise at Dulles International. The exercise will begin late in the evening on October 29 and continue into the early morning hours on October 30. Ms. McKeough stated that the Airports Authority will practice its recovery plans in the event a catastrophic incident occurred at the Airport, which required a large evacuation from the terminal facilities onto the airfield. In addition to testing mutual aid and first responder response to the scene, the exercise will also test the ability to recover operations at the Airport should any type of a large evacuation event occur. Ms. McKeough noted that while the October 29 exercise is not a public event, it may draw media attention as a result of the presence of the emergency vehicles and a substantial number of Airport operations staff. Mr. Davis reported that he would provide an update from his recent Airline Business Development Summit in China later in the meeting. Mr. Davis shared slides during his presentation and reported that September marked another strong month for the Airports Authority as the non-airline revenue had increased about 8 percent or $2.4 million.
He stated that year-to-date, revenue had increased 10 percent or $26.6 million compared to the prior year. Mr. Davis reported that all nonairline revenue areas are performing well noting that transportationrelated revenue had increased 11 percent or $1.6 million. Terminal revenue had increased 18 percent or $826,000, and business-tobusiness revenue had increased 12 percent or $816,000. Mr. Davis reported that both Airports are contributing fairly equally to the yearover-year revenue growth noting that Reagan National and Dulles International represented approximately 51 and 49 percent of the growth, respectively. He stated that the categories representing the most significant growth area at each Airport are different. The Airports Authority s efforts to grow business-to-business revenue yielded the most growth at Dulles International while the transportation category was responsible for the most growth at Reagan National. Mr. Davis reported that he expected that the increased revenue streams in the areas he had identified would continue and close out the year with strong results. In an ongoing effort to improve the passenger experience, which is a cornerstone of the Airports Authority s revenue strategy, Mr. Davis presented the latest initiative. He reported that the Airports Authority had launched its new airport magazine called #FlyWashington during the week. Mr. Davis stated that #FlyWashington is a free quarterly publication that passengers can pick up to read or download to their phones or other personal devices that will provide readers with ideas and information about things to do and places to visit in the National Capital Region and in cities around the world that Dulles International and Reagan National serve. In an effort to further enhance the service to the traveling public, the magazine also provides updates about both Airports, such as new flight destinations, openings of new stores and restaurants, updates on construction projects, and other improvements in service offerings. It joins other customer service initiatives, such as the userfriendly website and digital way-finding technologies launched one year ago, as well as new digital signage to help people better navigate Reagan National and Dulles International and new technology to help move people more quickly and efficiently through TSA and Customs. Mr. Davis explained that all of these things align with the Airports Authority s new branding strategy and customer pledge. He stated that the Airports Authority believed that producing a new magazine specifically for travelers to and from the Washington area is an important aspect of its commitment to engaging with customers.
Mr. Davis reported that the cover story of the first issue of #FlyWashington features the hottest ticket in town: the Smithsonian s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). Since the passage for entry into NMAAHC is booked up well into the next year, Mr. Davis stated that the new magazine can give readers an early preview of some of the exhibits and experiences this newest edition of the National Mall has to offer. With the use of the magazine, readers will learn that the NMAAHC is something very unique and special starting with the bronze color exterior that stands out from the white marble of most other Smithsonian museums on the National Mall. Mr. Davis stated that the building's inverted pyramid design is inspired by the three-tiered crowns used in sculptures of West Africa, and the interior of the museum spans nine floors and offers an emotional and historic journey through the American experience told through the lens of African American history and culture. Mr. Davis described what visitors would see upon entering the NMAAHC. On the ground level, visitors will walk through time, starting in Africa, and move through exhibits of the roles played by black patriots in the American Revolution and other wars, the Civil Rights movement, through the present. The upper-level exhibits showcase the contributions of black Americans to every aspect of the nation's progress and culture, including education, literature, business, politics, the arts, the military, and sports. Mr. Davis reported that the magazine also includes a holiday gift guide, updates about new amenities at Reagan National and Dulles International, and favorite recipes from well-known chefs of restaurants at both Airports. It also contains articles on some of the destinations served from Reagan National and Dulles International, such as the recently added cities of Casablanca, Morocco, and Lima, Peru. The magazine was designed as part of the Airports Authority s branding efforts to help build a stronger connection to the community of passengers. More than 50,000 free copies of #FlyWashington are on stands throughout the Airports. Mr. Davis reported that the Airports Authority believes that this new publication will be a significant enhancement to the passengers experiences. He recalled that the Airports Authority had discontinued its circulation of the previous version of the magazine about one and a half years ago until a new product that the organization could be proud of was produced. Mr. Davis recognized Pam Alme, Marketing Manager, and Chryssa Westerlund, Vice President of Marketing and Consumer Strategy, for
their work regarding the magazine. received a round of applause. Ms. Alme and Ms. Westerlund Mr. Session referenced a slide that Mr. Davis had shared with regard to an increase in business to business revenue at Dulles International and transportation revenue at Reagan National. He asked that Mr. Davis provide details. Mr. Davis explained that the Airports Authority is starting to benefit from two contracts that are in their final years, as well as contracts from the parking arena and revenue from the Transportation Network Companies. Mr. Curto spoke fondly about the new magazine and stated that he had particularly enjoyed the article highlighting the chefs in the Airports, which also highlighted the changes made to some of the [concessions and retail] space throughout the Airports. He viewed the changes to both the magazine and concessions space as significantly improved and congratulated staff on a fabulous job. Mr. Davis emphasized that because of the relationship that the Airports Authority had established during the execution of the contract with Clear Channel [for the provision of display advertising services], the magazine was introduced, and it had produced positive results. Chairman McDermott stated that Mr. Davis had provided an appealing description of the NMAAHC. He further stated that he believed that it is a wonderful thing for the country and this region and that he hoped to soon visit it. IV. NEW BUSINESS a.

d. Recommendation to Approve Virginia Department of Transportation s Request for Easements within the Dulles International Airport Access Highway for the Transform I-66 Inside the Beltway Project Ms. Wells moved the adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS, The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is undertaking a project known as Transform I-66 Inside the Beltway (Project) to convert the segment of I-66 inside the Capital Beltway to dynamically-priced toll lanes in the peak direction during weekday morning and afternoon rush hours; WHEREAS, Upon completion of this Project, single occupant eastbound vehicles on I-66 inside the Beltway will pay tolls on weekdays from 5:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. and single occupant westbound vehicles will pay tolls on weekdays from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.; WHEREAS, Vehicles with two or more persons and buses will not be tolled and the lanes will remain free to all traffic during off-peak periods and on weekends; WHEREAS, Single occupant vehicles travelling to and from Washington Dulles International Airport during the peak hours will also be required to pay the toll; WHEREAS, Tolling will be accomplished via E-ZPass and is expected to begin in the summer of 2017; WHEREAS, VDOT is required to inform drivers bound for I-66 that travel on I-66 is subject to a toll during certain hours, and the amount of the toll; WHEREAS, In order to provide this information, VDOT will install advisory signs in locations that give drivers the ability to choose alternative toll-free routes; WHEREAS, Six of these signs, as well as some associated tolling system elements, including fiber optic cable conduits, are proposed to be installed on Airports Authority property,

Mr. Williams expressed his concern with regard to the overwhelming number of negative votes on the subject resolution from the Virginia delegation. Although the impact of approving the resolution would only affect the Commonwealth of Virginia, Mr. Williams noted that he was uncertain about casting a negative vote rather than abstaining. He stated that he hoped that the President and CEO, as well as the Chairman, would convey the opposition from the Virginia delegation and ensure that their concerns are clearly expressed. Although he was close to casting a negative vote, Mr. Williams noted that he preferred to not vote in opposition of a committee recommendation without there being clear reason. Ms. Hanley agreed with Mr. Williams regarding the unease that the Board had with the prospect that airline passengers using Dulles International will be required to pay tolls. She agreed that the division represented by the Virginia delegation and other Directors communicates the concern. Ms. Haney stated that all airline passengers using Dulles International will be impacted not just passengers from Virginia. She stated that she had abstained because she believed it is important that
the Board send a message expressing concern about tolling airline passengers who use Dulles International. Ms. Hanley further stated that it would be necessary to ensure that passengers are aware that they will be tolled unless they exit [and choose alternative toll-free options] prior to that portion of the interstate where tolls are required. Chairman McDermott reported that the Board of Directors had received a communication on October 17, which had been immediately transmitted to each Director. He stated that he believed the communication had been useful and indicated that he had found comfort in Mr. Potter s comments during the day s Strategic Development Committee Meeting. Essentially, Mr. Potter had stated that appropriate signage will be displayed so that airline passengers using Dulles International will be forewarned that they will be required to pay tolls if they do not exit prior to entering a certain segment on the interstate. Chairman McDermott stated that he believed that the discussion regarding the recommendation had been a healthy exercise for the Board. He believed it was important to send a signal, and stated that the concern had been well expressed by various Board Members. Further, Chairman McDermott believed that it is very important for the Board to tell those in positions of authority both in the executive branch and in the legislature that it looks for their support and that the Directors are also trying to work cooperatively. He noted that an earlier presentation had expressed the Airports Authority s gratitude to the Commonwealth of Virginia for its $50 million proposal [to provide financial assistance]. The resolution was thereupon approved with six positive votes, three abstentions and five negative votes. The final resolution filed in the Board of Directors Office includes a copy of the staff recommendation paper. e. Reconsideration to Award a Contract for Snow Removal Services for the Dulles Toll Road Ms. Hanley moved the adoption of the following resolution, which was unanimously approved: WHEREAS, In June 2016, staff presented a pre-solicitation paper to the Dulles Corridor Committee regarding snow removal services for the Dulles Toll Road (DTR);

That the President and Chief Executive Officer is authorized and directed to enter into a contract with Fort Myer Construction Corporation, consistent with the terms presented to the Dulles Corridor Committee at its October 19, 2016 meeting. The final resolution filed in the Board of Directors Office includes a copy of the staff recommendation paper. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Mr. Tejada stated that August briefing for the Hispanic media was a resounding success. Additionally, Mr. Tejada stated that he had attended a few of the Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations at both Airports, which had also been quite successful. He noted that a story had been written on the last event held at Reagan National and that he would forward a copy to Ms. Hargrove. Mr. Tejada thanked the great work of Ms. Hargrove, Assistant Media Relations Program Managers Rob Yingling and Kimberly Gibbs, Chris Paolino, Director, Business Relationships, Margaret Bishop, Community Relations Program Manager, David Mould, Vice President for Communications, and Mr. Davis. VI. OTHER BUSINESS & ADJOURNMENT There was not any other business.
The Meeting was thereupon adjourned at 11:03 a.m. Respectfully submitted: Monica R. Hargrove Vice President and Secretary
