2023-04-04Comments of the Port Of Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on draft FAA policy regarding air carrier incentive program, Docket No. FAA-2002-1204

The Port also sought clarification on eligibility rules for competitive services and the 30-day public notice requirement for incentive agreements. -
