Summary & Background:
Scope of Work: The County utilizes a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contract to provide air traffic control night coverage services at Fulton County Executive Airport. On November 26, 2024, the FAA awarded the operations of the control tower at the Fulton County Executive Airport to CI2 Aviation, Inc. under their Contract Tower FCT Program (FAA contract #693KA7-25-C-00003, included as Attachment A).
Under this contract, the FAA provides funding for 16 hours of daytime air traffic control services Monday through Friday between 6:00 am and 10 pm and 15 hours of daytime air traffic control services Saturday and Sunday between 7:00 am and 10 pm through its approved contractor, CI2 Aviation. Since Fulton County desires 24-hour coverage, Fulton County has traditionally provided the necessary funding for the remaining 8 hours of night-time coverage services on Monday through Friday between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am and 9 hours of night-time coverage on Saturday and Sunday between 10:00 pm and 7:00 a.m. The Airport Enterprise Fund has traditionally paid the added costs associated with night coverage to allow for 24-hour coverage at the airport.
The scope of services that CI2 Aviation will be providing Fulton County, included as Attachment B, is based on the FAA contract between FAA and CI2 Aviation with similar terms and conditions.
Community Impact: No new community impact is anticipated within the community based on this contract since it continues the 24-hour operation of the airport that has been in place for many years.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works recommends approval.
Project Implications: The FAA assures the Air Traffic Control Tower provides safe, orderly, and expeditious movement of air traffic in the vicinity of and within the Fulton County Executive Airport. No other metro Atlanta airport, apart from Hartsfield-Jackson, provides 24-hour coverage at their control towers.
Community Issues/Concerns: No issues or concerns have been raised to Public Works staff.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department has no issues or concerns with the new FAA contract with CI2 Aviation.
Contract Modification: New Procurement conducted by the FAA
