Summary & Background: Request to renew FAA Contract #693KA7-25-C-00003, Air Traffic Control Services - Night Coverage (M-F 10:00 pm to 6:00 am and Sa-Su 10:00 pm to 7:00 am) for the Fulton County Executive Airport at Brown Field with CI2 Aviation.
Scope of Work: The County continues to utilize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Contract Tower Program to provide air traffic control services at Fulton County Executive Airport. On November 26, 2024, the FAA awarded operation of the control tower at Fulton County Executive Airport to CI2 Aviation, Inc. under the FAA Contract Tower (FCT) Program (FAA Contract No. 693KA7-25-C-00003, Exhibit #3), and CI2 Aviation remains the FAA-approved contractor for these services.
Under this FAA contract, the FAA funds 16 hours of daytime air traffic control services Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and 15 hours of daytime service on Saturday and Sunday between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., through its approved contractor, CI2 Aviation. To maintain continuous 24-hour air traffic control operations, Fulton County must fund the remaining hours not covered by the FAA, consisting of 8 hours of night-time coverage Monday through Friday between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and 9 hours of night-time coverage on Saturday and Sunday between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. The Airport Enterprise Fund will continue to cover the additional costs associated with providing full 24-hour tower operations.
The scope of services to be provided by CI2 Aviation to Fulton County (Exhibit #4) remains consistent with the FAA contract between the FAA and CI2 Aviation and incorporates substantially 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 renewal.
