TO: FROM: DATE: MEMORANDUM Airport Advisory Commissioners Rajeev Thomas, Chief Financial Officer, Austin Aviation March 11, 2026 SUBJECT: Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Financial Update January 2026 Financial Results Passenger and aircraft activity increased in January 2026 compared to the prior year because of growth in air service. Commercial airlines increased daily departures by 7% to 219, led by increased flight activity from Delta Airlines. As a result, passenger traffic increased 3% and landed weights increased 5% compared to the prior year. Cargo volume decreased 6% due to adjustments in air cargo carrier strategies and a decline year over year in domestic belly freight volume. Table #1 Enplanements Landing Weights Cargo Tonnage Operating Revenue Airport OPEX Total Requirements Net Income FY 2026 January FY 2025 January Variance Fav (Unfav) FY 2026 YTD FY 2025 YTD Variance YTD Fav (Unfav) 703,747 682,885 986,743,521 937,572,380 9,550 10,173 3.1% 5.2% (6.1%) 3,625,262 3,450,904 4,534,005,350 4,253,837,231 44,989 47,750 5.1% 6.6% (5.8%) $32,238,123 $25,788,907 $6,449,216 $144,008,174 $113,785,377 $30,222,797 $17,978,025 $16,412,105 ($1,565,920) $61,407,437 $55,792,962 ($5,614,475) $26,741,551 $25,451,585 ($1,289,967) $96,462,882 $88,456,898 ($8,005,985) $5,496,571 $337,323 $5,159,249 $47,545,292 $25,328,479 $22,216,812 Operating revenue increased 25% compared to the prior year and is comprised of 60% airline revenue and 40% non-airline revenue. The increase in operating revenue is mostly driven by increased airline rates and charges in FY2026 resulting from a new rates and charges methodology in the airline use and lease agreement. Airline revenue streams increased 44% due to the escalated rates and growth in aircraft activity. Non-airline revenue streams increased 5% due to growth in passenger traffic and increased parking rates. Food & beverage and retail revenue streams reflect reduced revenues for the month of January 2026 compared to the prior year because of corrections to revenue reporting from earlier months; year to date concessions revenue has increased from growth in passenger traffic. Airport operating expenses increased 10% compared to January 2025 because of growth in personnel and building maintenance costs. Improvement in employee vacancy rate and across the board wage adjustments drove increased personnel cost. The increase in maintenance expenses are driven by increased utilities costs, plumbing/electrical augmented staffing, and elevated preventative maintenance costs. Debt service cost declined 6% in January 2026 primarily because the 2019 refunding bond issuance was paid off. Other requirements increased 7% because of an increase in citywide allocated costs and increased transfers to the subordinate obligation fund from the initiation of the airport note purchase …

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Plan Implementation Advisory Commission Recommendation Number 20260310-004: To provide funding to the Mueller Property Owners Association (POA) for summer lifeguards at Mueller pools in the FY 2026-2027 Budget. WHEREAS, the City of Austin’s Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Plan Implementation Advisory Commission (RMMAPIAC) was established to advise the City Council on redevelopment issues affecting the implementation of Mueller’s Master Plan; and WHEREAS, one of Mueller’s six 1996 community-forged and City Council-adopted redevelopment goals was for it to enhance, be compatible with, and accessible to its surrounding neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, on December 2, 2004 the City of Austin and Catellus Austin, LLC (now managed by Banbury Development) entered into a Master Development Agreement for the public-private partnership to redevelop the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport; and WHEREAS, Mueller’s 140 acres of parks, green spaces, trails, and two swimming pools were developed with Mueller project funds, and are open to and heavily used by the larger Austin community, leading to the 2024 action by the City Council to approve continued annual payments, as budget allows, to the Mueller Property Owners Association (POA) towards maintaining the now City-owned Perimeter Parks; and WHEREAS, since each were completed, the public has been welcome to use both Ella Wooten and John Gaines Pools during hours established by the POA from Memorial Day weekend in May to Labor Day weekend in September, paying a per-use fee comparable to City of Austin District Pools, with the POA providing required lifeguard services during those public hours for the benefit of Mueller residents and nonresidents alike; and WHEREAS, The Mueller POA establishes the budget for all Mueller parks and pools, and the current 2026 cost for lifeguards is budgeted to be $135,496. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that that the RMMAPIAC recommends that the City Council includes sufficient funding in Austin Parks & Recreation’s FY 2026-2027 and future budgets to cover approved continued annual payments to the Mueller POA towards maintaining the now City- owned Perimeter Parks and the Mueller pool lifeguard costs to maintain public access periods, and for staff to coordinate with the Mueller POA on this funding.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET C20-2025-006 Amendment: C20-2025-006 Amendments to the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC): Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to amend the ERC Regulating Plan to remove the property located at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive from the ERC Regulating Plan and to change the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan. Background and summary of proposed code amendment: This amendment was initiated by the City Council under Resolution No. Resolution No. 20250605-079. Council Sponsors: Mayor Kirk Watson, Council Member Ryan Alter, Council Member Zohaib ''Zo'' Qadri, Council Member José ''Chito'' Vela, Council Member José Velásquez. On February 25, 2010, the City Council adopted the ERC as an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The ERC Plan establishes a long-term vision to transition existing low-density, auto-oriented commercial uses into a pedestrian, and bicycle-friendly, mixed-use urban district. A core objective of the plan is to advance high-quality development and create vibrant places where people can live, work, shop, and recreate within walking distance. In May 2013, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-039 which created the ERC zoning district and established the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC Regulating Plan) and its associated planning area boundary. Council also adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-042 rezoning approximately 228 acres within the East Riverside Corridor to ERC. The approximately 1.437-acre property at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive (collectively, the “South Lakeshore Tract”), located adjacent to the South Shore District Planned Unit Development (PUD), was included within the ERC Regulating Plan boundary at that time. The property owner intends to submit a PUD amendment application to modify existing development regulations within the South Shore District PUD and incorporate the South Lakeshore Tract into the PUD. Because the property lies within the ERC Regulating Plan boundary, a Code amendment is required to remove the tract from the ERC Regulating Plan to allow its inclusion in the PUD. This amendment will provide for consistent and cohesive development regulations within the South Shore District PUD. The current ERC Regulating Plan includes several figures that depict the subject property. See Exhibit “A”. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed Code Amendment to amend the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan to remove the property located at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive from the following figures as depicted by …
