AIRCRAFT/AIRPORTS: Removes the ten year lease provision and the associated exceptions for airport facilities
This bill modifies the rules for leasing airport facilities by removing a specific ten-year lease requirement and its related exceptions. It applies only to new lease agreements signed on or after July 1, 2024, leaving existing contracts unaffected. The change allows airport operators and lessors to negotiate lease terms without being bound by the previous ten-year duration rule.
