- Airports Suffer Terminal Illness * By SCOTT MCC ARTNEY Columnist's name * Article * Video * Comments more in Travel Main » * Email * Pri nter Friendly * Share: o Yahoo Buzz more o MySpace o Digg * smaller Text Siz e larger * At 8:45 a.m. last Friday, the dr op-off curb and the halls of Terminal 2 at Ontario Interna tional Airport in California were virtually empty. Twent y security screeners stood ready to check only a handful o f passengers. "It's been this way since JetBlue left ," said one Transportation Security Administration scr eener. [Scott Brundage] Scott Brundage Ontario, l ike many airports across the country, is suddenly strugg ling. JetBlue Airways Corp. pulled out of Ontario last month. ExpressJet Airlines Inc. shut down its indepen dent operation, too. Other airlines have reduced their flights to the airport serving the inland side of Los Ang eles. Even the biggest airline at Ontario, Southwest A irlines Co., has cut flights. Of 24 gates at the air port, 10 are now empty. Ontario used to have non-stop flights to 36 cities; now it has only 17. This loss o f passengers is creating a vicious economic spiral that is gripping airports across the country. At a time when ai rports have taken increasing roles in passenger comfort an d care because of the service slide of airlines, today 's financial pressures are forcing major service reducti ons and financial strains. video Empty Gates, Termina ls at Struggling Airports 2:07 Middle Seat columnist Sc ott McCartney reports from California's Ontario airport one of many airports across the country that are fast beco ming lonely places to fly because of high operation costs . (Oct. 7) The flight cuts will make the airport more expensive for airlines. Many airports set landing f ees and terminal rents charged to airlines based on debt p ayments and operating costs. When the number of passenge rs is reduced, costs per passenger go up. Flights beco me less profitable, and airlines reduce schedules more , potentially driving per-passenger costs even higher. Cash-strapped airports will likely also scale back on upk eep and building improvements. Facing reduced foot traff ic -- and sales -- struggling airport shops and restaurant s may close. "When airlines cut back, unless the ai rport is able to cut operating costs, the costs to airli nes almost always go up," says Bob Hazel, a partner at consultancy Oliver Wyman, a unit of Marsh & McLenna n Cos. Improvement projects have been shelved in Atlant a, Phoenix, Oakland and Las Vegas. A new terminal ju st opened at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and an Oct. 1 increase in fees to airlines has been put on hold while th e airport tries to cut more costs, fearing the loss of a irline service. The airport has to the end of this month to decide on a budget; it has already frozen salaries , imposed a hiring freeze and required appointed staff t o contribute more to the cost of their health care. Podc ast Columnist Scott McCartney explains how airports are a nother casualty of the financial downturn, as new termi nals remain vacant and even retail outlets at airports are emptying. More For more travel news, with up-to-the minute analysis, insight and advice read The Middle Seat Terminal blog. Pittsburgh International Airport has se aled off parts of its terminal. A huge terminal was buil t for 30 million passengers a year, but peaked at 21 mil lion and now is down to eight million or nine million a ye ar. Over several years, US Airways Group Inc. has dr opped to fewer than 60 flights a day in Pittsburgh, from 542 flights per day. Allegheny County, which runs the airport, transferred $19.9 million in state gamblin g money to its airport authority in the past year to suppo rt the airport. Airports used to be sleepy, stable bu sinesses, a quasi-governmental function with little comp etition or turmoil. Airports set fees to cover their cos ts, and the fees were generally low enough not to affect airline flight-schedule decisions. Parking fees, rent s from retailers and federal grants, along with a per-pa ssenger tax levied directly on tickets that is now up to $4.50, often covered most airport costs. In recen t years, airports have had to shoulder more of the burde n of taking care of passengers. Fully booked flights and long delays mean airports have to provide larger seating areas at gates, bathrooms and more services. Airlines have increasingly looked to airports to do everything from real-estate design and planning to the provision of cots , blankets and toiletries to distressed customers. "The travel experience is sufficiently unpleasant that I do think the traveling public looks to airports to provid e services that airlines no longer provide, and that cos ts money," says Mr. Hazel. He says airports need t o boost efficiency and employ more private-sector cost-cut ting of their own. Airport procurement, for example, often gets bogged down in city bureaucracy and isn't as cost-effective as it could be. "Lean" techniques fo r operations often employed by business could improve airl ine finances. At Ontario, Los Angeles built two new t erminals, spending $270 million to be able to handle 1 0 million passengers per year, and optimistically left r oom between the two for a third big building. The airpor t, seen as congestion relief for over-crowded Los Angele s International Airport, made it to about seven million passengers per year the past three years, but passenger traffic in August was down 18% and airline flight cuts t his fall will trigger an even faster decline. The number of seats next month will be down by nearly one-third comp ared with a year earlier. At a sunglasses retail store in one of the two terminals, a clerk said the shop used to make an average of 20 sales a day. Now, only five t o seven customers make purchases daily. Some stores and restaurants in the two terminals have closed. Many airp orts are trying to boost revenue by exploring ways to inst all more advertising and spruce up parking. At Oakland I nternational Airport, for example, a new system was in stalled in parking lots allowing travelers to get in and o ut simply by swiping a credit card. Making it easier to use parking garages may draw patrons away from off-airport parking, said Steve Grossman, aviation director for t he Port of Oakland. Oakland is also looking at offering reserved close-in parking spaces, at premium prices, a nd possibly a "frequent parker" rewards program to enc ourage use of airport parking facilities. [The departu res curb at Ontario International Airport.] Associated Press The departures curb at Ontario International Airpo rt. Increased parking and concession revenue can keep l anding fees and rents charged to airlines lower. Under e normous financial pressures from the high cost of jet fuel , airlines have grown increasingly sensitive to airport costs. On average, the landing fees and rents charged airlines typically amount to about $6 to $9 per passen ger, but some new terminals and expansions have raised c osts at some airports to $15 to $20 per passenger. C harging $10 more per passenger can turn profitable airli ne flights into money-losers if there aren't lots of hig h-fare business passengers on board. Southwest and othe r carriers say fuel cost and flight profitability are the biggest drivers influencing decisions on where to eliminat e flights, but airport costs are becoming an increasingl y important factor. "As competitors pull out, the de nominator shrinks and our share of the costs increases ove r time," says Bob Jordan, Southwest's executive vi ce president of strategy and planning. In Ontario, hi gher concession sales and traffic growth last year actuall y led to a slight reduction in fees when the airport last adjusted, according to Gina Marie Lindsey, executive d irector of Los Angeles World Airports, the city agency t hat runs LAX and Ontario. But that will soon change. T his year's fee adjustment, she said, "will not be such a happy one." Airport staff are trying to cut co sts, recognizing that higher prices could lead to even b igger airline schedule cuts. "We do need to avoid gett ing into that spiral because you can price an airport into being non-competitive," Ms. Lindsey said. The ci ty is studying whether funds from LAX might have to be use d to supplement Ontario's budget. The Federal Aviation Administration does allow one airport to support another financially to relieve congestion, but LAX is facing its own massive modernization program that will be expensive , and it is already battling with airlines over terminal rents. Asked if the big airport would have to bail out Ontario, Ms. Lindsey said, "I sure hope not." Write to Scott McCartney at middleseat@xxxxxxx

Buzz Res ources CONTINENTAL CUISINE Each year Houston -based Continental Airlines boards: • 55 m illion sodas and juices • 45 million pound s of ice • 3.5 million quarts of orange ju ice • 30 million bags of pretzels and pean uts Source: Continental Airlines While most carriers are making customers pay for their own meals these days, Continental Airlines ha s stuck with its own recipe. As a result, Co ntinental is the only big U.S. airline that s till includes meals with domestic economy-cla ss fares. It helps that the carrier continue s to operate its own catering business. It ev en sells meals to competitors, including big names like Delta and Northwest, who turn arou nd and resell them to their passengers. On o ther major domestic airlines, snacks in econo my class generally start at about $3, while m eals can range from $6 to $10. Continental's Chelsea Food Services actually is the third- largest caterer in the country. And Continent al — while declining to go into details — said the business unit is a moneymaker, no s mall matter in a year where record fuel price s have waylaid profits in the industry. Cont inental contends it has no plans to change wh at it is doing, believing it helps set it apa rt from rivals. Its food division prepares a lmost 30 million meals yearly, and most of it s business is with other airlines. Chelsea pr epares almost half of them in Houston. The re st come from Chelsea's kitchens in Cleveland and Newark as well as Denver, Honolulu and Lo s Angeles. Despite a power outage caused las t month by Hurricane Ike, Chelsea reported th at it got by with a backup generator and that it lost some food, but not a significant amo unt. Kitchens elsewhere picked up the slack b riefly before Houston was fully back on line Sept. 16, three days after landfall. 24 hour s a day Almost 800 employees work in the Chel sea kitchen on Wright Road at Bush Inter- con tinental Airport. Out of necessity, it operat es 24 hours a day, said Sandra Pineau, the Co ntinental vice president who oversees Chelsea . Pi eau, who began her career working at th e kitchen in Los Angeles, said that by having its own catering arm, Continental is able to closely manage its entire supply chain and f ood operations. "This allows us to maintain a strong focus on delivering a high-quality p roduct to our passengers, including meals at mealtime," she said. The catering operation has grown significantly just over the past de cade. As some airlines have gotten away from preparing their own food, Continental has ste pped in and filled some of the void. "Curren tly, we do about 28 million meals annually, a nd that represents approximately a 50 percent increase from 10 years ago," Continental spo keswoman Kelly Cripe said. Not all the food goes airborne, either. In Denver, Chelsea pro vides baked goods, like muffins, to Starbucks . An unusual case Aviation experts agree tha t Continental benefits from having Chelsea. "What is interesting about the Continental ca se is that most airlines have gotten rid of t heir catering units in their portfolios," avi ation consultant Bob Mann of R.W. Mann & Co. said. "At one point, most had their own inter nal unit." That changed in the wake of 9/11 and increased security measures in and around airports, when most airlines decided to forg o the hassle, Mann said. Instead, they provi de caterers access to their planes and custom ers in exchange for a commission. "The back of the airplane has become a profit center, n ot a cost center, and the revenue benefits fr om back of the cabin cost-subsidize the remai ning costs in the front of the cabin," he sai d. Not all have to pay While big domestic ai rlines charge their budget travelers for food , they still don't in higher classes, where p assengers generally pay higher fares and expe ct more for their money. United Airlines tri ed to take its pay-for-trays strategy aboard certain trans-Atlantic flights this year and was met with an outcry from customers, includ ing frequent fliers. It eventually backed dow n. "There is pretty clear s lit between dome stic and international, and I don't see anyon e trying to charge internationally," Mann sai d. "United got that message." Then there is the biggest low-fare operator in the U.S., So uthwest Airlines, which doesn't provide meals . But it does hand out free snacks — notabl y its famous peanuts, 103.8 million bags in 2 007 alone — along with water, juice and sof t drinks, spokesman Chris Mainz said. bill.h ensel@xxxxxxxxx
