44 Research was conducted to develop basic data for all existing consortiums in the United States including acronym, name, location, size of airport by number of enplanements, consortium man- agement structure, consortium scope of services, annual operating budget, and form of business entity. Research methodology included a review of internal records, secretary of state databases and existing literature. Information gathering was also conducted through interviews and exchanges with representatives of various airlines, consortium operators, and the Airlines for America (A4A) (formerly Air Transport Association) trade organization. The number of enplaned passengers reported for each airport was acquired from a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) website titled âPassenger Boarding (Enplanements) and All-Cargo Data for U.S. Airports.â Calendar year 2012 enplanements were used. ACRP Synthesis 31 found that consortiums may be categorized based upon their primary scope of responsibilities. The categories applied in that synthesis were Terminal Consortiums, Equipment Consortiums, Fuel Consortiums, and Other Consortiums. This report considers these same categories. Thirty-nine consortiums were found to be active in the United States. These consortiums are categorized in Table 2. Terminal Consortiums Terminal Consortiums are those that have significant operation and maintenance responsi- bility for an airport terminal or a large portion of an airport terminal facility. The basic data for the two terminal consortiums is provided in Table 3. The LAX TWO consortium was included in prior analyses as a Terminal Consortium. How- ever, since the departure of Northwest Airlines from the LAX TWO consortium (as a result of its merger with Delta Air Lines), the responsibility of terminal operations has been taken over by the City of Los Angeles. Further, the functional responsibilities of LAX TWO were re-assigned by the City of Los Angeles to the Tom Bradley International Terminal Equipment Company (TBITEC) consortium effective July 1, 2013. As a result, the LAX TWO consortium is no longer operating and is not included in this report. The South Terminal Corporation (STC) consortium was previously identified in some reports as an airline consortium at Logan International Airport (BOS). The STC was implemented at BOS to maintain a portion of Terminal B. However, the airport received complaints regarding the performance of the STC in public areas of the airport. As a result, the scope assigned to the C H A P T E R 9 Existing Consortiums
Existing Consortiums 45 STC was greatly reduced and the STC now provides limited functions to a single airline. There- fore, the STC is not included in this report. Equipment Consortiums Equipment Consortiums generally have maintenance and operations responsibility for equip- ment that is directly related to the operations of the airlines jointly using a particular airport terminal facility. Primary examples of airline equipment include inbound and outbound bag- gage handling systems, checked baggage inspection systems, passenger boarding bridges, and ancillary gate systems such as ground power, potable water, and pre-conditioned air. However, Equipment Consortiums may also have other maintenance responsibilities including custodial, common use electronic equipment, ramp cleaning, maintenance, and so forth. The basic data for the nine equipment consortiums is provided in Table 4. The LAX TWO consortium was included in prior lists as an Equipment Consortium. How- ever, the functional responsibilities of LAX TWO were re-assigned by the City of Los Angeles to the Tom Bradley International Terminal Equipment Company (TBITEC) consortium effective July 1, 2013. As a result, the LAX TWO consortium is no longer operating and is not included in this report. Terminal Consortiums 2 Equipment Consortiums 9 Fuel Consortiums 25 Other Consortiums 3 Total 39 Table 2.

Existing Consortiums 47 Ontario International Airport Terminal & Equipment Company, LLC (ONT-TEC) is a new consortium that began operations at ONT on July 1, 2013. The LAX Terminal Equity Corporation (LAXTEC) consortium was formerly included in prior reports as an Equipment Consortium. During 2011, LAXTEC changed its name to the Tom Bradley International Terminal Equipment Company (TBITEC). Also, on July 1, 2013, TBITEC expanded its functional responsibilities from the Tom Bradley International Terminal to include Terminal 2 at LAX. It can be noted that the Detroit Airlines North Terminal Consortium (DANTeC) and the San Antonio Airlines Consortium (SAAC) are the only consortiums known to have direct, although limited, airport involvement in the governance of the consortium and could, therefore, be defined as âairport-airline consortiums.â Please see Chapter 4, Business Entity Selection, for additional details of this arrangement. Fuel Consortiums Fuel Consortiums are those that have the primary responsibility of operating and maintaining aviation fuel systems. Primary examples of aviation fuel systems include fuel receiving equip- ment and facilities, fuel storage equipment and facilities, fuel distribution equipment and facili- ties, and fuel dispensing equipment and facilities. Aviation fuel control and monitoring systems may also be included. The basic data for the 25 fuel consortiums is provided in Table 5. Other Consortiums Other Consortiums are those that cannot be included in any of the other consortium catego- ries, since their scope is unrelated to responsibilities for the operation and maintenance of an airport terminal, airline equipment, or an aviation fuel system. The basic data for the three other consortiums is provided in Table 6. The Airlines Committee of Hawaii (ACH) consortium was originally formed to provide con- solidated and common representation for the airlines operating in Hawaii. Recently, the State allowed the ACH to commonly manage the state selected operation and maintenance contractor for the outbound baggage handling systems located at Honolulu and Kahului airports. However, documents that will serve to formalize these responsibilities are currently under negotiation. When these documents are complete, the ACH may be considered an Equipment Consortium.
