    Port Of Seattle Airport Financial Forecast & SAMP Impacts

    Baseline forecast of airport costs to airlines (CPE) is $20 in 2025, without Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) projects Upper limit to Sea-Tac’s future CPE based on judgment, likely $25 - $30 for 2027 - 2030 Adding SAMP to baseline produces projected $36 CPE in 2027, likely not feasible To make SAMP financially feasible (CPE <$30), must: Increase non-aeronautical net operating income (NOI) Manage growth of operating and maintenance costs Reduce projected capital spending SAMP is financially feasible, but requires vigilant cost management and increased non-aero revenues Financial Framework Established by Airline Lease Agreement (SLOA IV) Aeronautical rates are set to recover costs Aeronautical capital costs recovered depends on funding source: Cash funded – annual amortization based on life of asset Revenue bond funded – annual debt service Grants and PFC funded – no recovery, excluded from rate bases Capital costs are added to rate base when asset is placed in service Safety net: if airport debt service coverage is < 1.25x, airport may add “coverage” (non-cash cost) to airline rate bases as necessary to bring debt service coverage to 1.25x. Charging coverage in rate based magnifies the cost impact of a project Non-aero investments must generate positive rate of return Capital costs are primary CPE driver Airport Capital Capacity Capital costs are recovered through airline rates Capital capacity of the airport is constrained by: Airport cost to airlines (CPE) Airport debt level, and ability to borrow Port’s credit rating Debt per enplaned passenger Upper range to CPE is based…
