Board OKs plan to waive BWI fees for new airlines
The Gaithersburg (MD) Gazette


The Maryland Board of Public Works on Wednesday approved amendments to allow
the Maryland Aviation Administration to waive user fees and rent for new
airlines for a two-year promotional period at Baltimore-Washington
International Thurgood Marshall Airport in Linthicum.

The waiver is common at competing airports to attract new airlines, said
Jonathan Dean, a spokesman for the Maryland Aviation Administration.

Last year, BWI saw a record 20.7 million commercial passengers, about 5
percent more than in 2005. The leading carrier was Southwest Airlines, with
10.7 million passengers.

Air Greenland is scheduled start the first nonstop air service between the
United States and Greenland at BWI next month.
