Body
Strategic Plan:
Foster Continual Economic Growth and Vitality
4.4 Invest in infrastructure to meet current and future needs
Summary:
This project consists of the construction of a new CBIS for the Ticketing “A” area of the Airport. There are twelve (12) existing counters, with twenty four (24) stations, that are currently under-utilized due to the lack of an adequate CBIS. This project will install a new CBIS that will meet the current and future needs of the airport.
Background Information:
The Airport’s primary air carrier, Allegiant Air (Allegiant), currently processes passengers at Ticketing “B”, which has six (6) counters, and twelve (12) stations. The checked bags at this ticketing area are processed by a mini-inline baggage handling system. While the baggage throughput for this system was sufficient several years ago, Allegiant’s growth over the past few years produces a volume of bags that now exceeds the capacity of this mini-inline system.
Moving Allegiant’s ticketing operation to the Ticketing “A” area will provide double the counter stations available to process checked bags. With the completion of this project, a new CBIS will be installed that will not only provide the ability to process current baggage handling needs, but provides for an additional screening machine that can be added in the future.
