Goal of the Program

The goal of the Purdue University Airport Air Carrier Incentive Program is to increase access to air service at LAF through new passenger service to unserved destinations and to increase capacity in markets with existing service.

This incentive program is effective immediately and may be amended by Purdue University Airport at any time.

This incentive program will be administered in compliance with federal law, the Airport Improvement Program Grant Assurances, and FAA policy, including the Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue (1999) and the FAA Policy Regarding Air Carrier Incentive Program (2023).

Participation in this program requires an incentive agreement between the Purdue University Airport and an air carrier.

To qualify for incentives, a seasonal route must be operated for a minimum of 8 consecutive weeks.

An air carrier may only qualify for an incentive for a particular route one time. Seasonal service may not receive an incentive each time it returns for a new season after the initial 3-season period as detailed above.

To qualify for incentives, a carrier must be current on payment of rates and charges.

Air carriers must operate service throughout duration of the promotional period at the level specified.

Air carriers must use the passenger terminal in order to qualify for incentives.

An air carrier may qualify for an incentive regardless of the type of economic and safety certificates it has sought and received from the U.S. Department of Transportation and FAA, including authorities granted under 14 C.F.R. Parts 119, 121 and Part 135, provided that the air carrier otherwise satisfies the eligibility and qualification requirements of this incentive program.

An air carrier may qualify for an incentive whether the air carrier operates as a signatory or non-signatory at LAF, provided that the air carrier otherwise satisfies the eligibility and qualification requirements of this incentive program.

Incentives may not be transferred from one carrier to incentives cannot be transferred between routes.

Additional incentives, including marketing support and minimum revenue guarantees (MRG), may be available through non-airport funds provided by organizations outside of Purdue University Airport.
