42 Building and Maintaining Air Service Through Incentive Programs Airport Fee Waiver: An incentive in which an airport waives specific fees charged to airlines (landing fees, terminal rents, ground handling, or any other fee that the airport would normally charge an airline for use of an airport and its facilities). Marketing Support: Financial support provided by an airport or community for the marketing of a new airline service. Within limits, airports can provide marketing support incentives, and communities can do so in a wider variety of ways. Airline Revenue or Minimum Revenue Guarantee: A guarantee (which cannot be funded by air- ports using aeronautical revenue sources) to an airline that a new service will generate a specified amount of revenue from ticket sales, with the incentive guarantee making up the difference. Travel Bank: A fund created by local businesses for use to purchase tickets on a target airline.

Airports and the communities they serve view robust air service as an important element for economic well-being and overall quality of life. Incentive programs are often used to encourage airlines to maintain or augment service to a community. Recent airline industry trends, including airline consolidation, use of larger aircraft, the rise of ultra-low-cost airlines, and challenges with pilot supply as well as regulatory and policy developments, have affected the significance of these programs.

The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Research Report 218: Building and Maintaining Air Service Through Incentive Programs is a guidebook offering advice for using incentive programs for growing and maintaining commercial air service. The development, execution, and monitoring of air service incentive programs can be complex, involve multiple stakeholders, and must address federal compliance issues.

An additional resource accompanying the report is Building and Maintaining Air Service Through Incentive Programs:Contractor’s Final Technical Report.
