The Cottonwood Municipal Airport has been tasked with exploring the possibility of enacting landing fees for all transient aircraft. In February 2023, Vector Airport Systems and Virtower announced a global strategic partnership. The pairing of these two companies provides the technology for airports to have the technological means to consider landing fees rather than relying upon dedicated airport staff. This system is being considered for implementation by a number of airports in Arizona and across the nation.
The initial presentation of this system will be made at the March 6, 2024 Airport Commission meeting by Vector Airport Systems via ZOOM. The meeting will be held at the City Council Chambers–Riverfront (1084 E. River Front Road) starting at 6 p.m. The Airport will also host this meeting via ZOOM to allow for pilots and citizens to watch and learn about the system online if they are unable to attend in person.
The airport anticipates conducting multiple meetings through the airport commission and noise advisory working group to discuss and address this item before presenting the system pros and cons to City Council for discussion and consideration for adoption by the City of Cottonwood.
