Background:
Rebel Aviation, Incorporated is a business currently engaged in the performance of aircraft rental and flight instruction at the Roosterville Airport in Liberty, Missouri. The operators of Rebel Aviation Inc. are wanting to expand their operations to the Lee's Summit Municipal Airport. Rebel Aviation Inc would like to begin operations with the rental of one Open-T hangar to house one aircraft and upon the completion of the runway expand their fleet at Lee's Summit and pursue an office in the Airport Modular building.
Impact/Analysis:
The Airport has been without a flight school operation since the retirement of the owners of Midwest Executive Aircraft, Inc in July 2012. The Airport has actively marketed for a Flight School operator since July 2012. The Air Charter facility did limited flight training. With the closing of this facility on December 1, 2016, the Airport is without any flight training operations available to the public. Flight School operations not only provide additional revenues for the Airport in the way of fuel sales, but could also provide hangar tenants from students in the future who decide to purchase their own aircraft and need hangar space to store their aircraft. The BOAC recommended approval of this agreement at its May 1, 2017, meeting.
