INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Purpose
The purpose of these General Aviation Minimum Standards (Minimum Standards) is to
encourage and promote: (a) the consistent provision of high quality Commercial General
Aviation products, services, and facilities at the Lubbock Preston Smith International
Airport (Airport), (b) the orderly development of General Aviation land and high quality
General Aviation Improvements at the Airport, (c) safety and security at the Airport, and
(d) the economic health of General Aviation Operators at the Airport.
Commercial General Aviation Aeronautical Activities (Activities) may be proposed that do
not fall within the categories designated herein. In such a case, appropriate minimum
standards shall be established by the Director and approved by the Airport Board (Board)
and City of Lubbock City Council (City) on a case -by -case basis.
All qualified and experienced entities desirous of engaging in Activities at the Airport shall
be accorded a reasonable opportunity, without unjust discrimination, to engage in such
Activities, subject to complying with these Minimum Standards.
Specialized Aviation Service Operators (SASO) are encouraged to be Sublessees of a
Fixed Base Operator (FBO); however, if suitable land or Improvements are not available
or cannot be secured from an FBO, SASOs may (if available): (a) Sublease
Improvements from another SASO and/or (b) lease land and/or Improvements from the
City.
1.2. General Provisions
These Minimum Standards incorporate, by reference, the General Provisions. The terms
identified by use of a capital letter in these Minimum Standards are addressed in Section
1.2 and provided in Section 2. Appendix to the General Provisions.
1.3. Exclusive Rights and Airport Sponsor Assurances
In accordance with the Airport Sponsor Assurances (Assurances) given to the federal
and/or state government by the City as a condition to receiving federal and/or state funds,
the granting of rights or privileges to engage in Activities shall not be construed in any
manner as affording any entity an Exclusive Right, other than the exclusive use of the
land and/or Improvements that may be leased to an entity and then only to the extent
provided in an Agreement.
However, an airport sponsor may elect to provide certain Activities directly (i.e., products,
services, and facilities can be provided by the sponsor's Employees using the sponsor's
Vehicles, Equipment, and resources) in which case, the airport sponsor can exercise its
proprietary Exclusive Right — as allowed in the Assurances.

International Airport
INTRODUCTION
The presence of only one Operator engaged in a particular Activity does not, in and of
itself, indicate that an Exclusive Right has been granted. It is the policy of the City not to
enter into or promote an understanding, commitment, or express Agreement to exclude
other reasonably qualified and experienced entities. Accordingly, those entities who
desire to enter into an Agreement with the City should neither expect nor request that
other entities who also desire to engage in the same or similar Activities be excluded.
The opportunity to engage in Activities shall be made available to those entities complying
with the standards and requirements set forth in these Minimum Standards and as land
and Improvements may be available at the Airport to support such Activities provided
such use is consistent with the current and planned uses of land and Improvements at
the Airport and is in the best interests of the City and the public, as determined by the
Director and City in its sole discretion.
If the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) determines that any provision of these
Minimum Standards, any provision of any Agreement, or any practice constitutes a grant
of a prohibited Exclusive Right, such provision shall be deemed null and void and such
practice shall be discontinued immediately.
1.4. Pioneering Period
When specific Activities (e.g., product, service, or facility) are not currently being provided
at the Airport, the City may enter into an Agreement under terms and conditions that may
be less than those outlined in the Primary Management and Compliance Documents
(PMCDs) for a limited period of time (known as the pioneering period).
1.5. Applicability
These Minimum Standards specify the standards and requirements which must be
complied with by any entity desiring to engage in Commercial General Aviation
Aeronautical Activities at the Airport. Throughout these Minimum Standards, the words
"standards" or "requirements" shall be understood to be modified by the word "minimum"
except where explicitly stated otherwise. Any required determinations, interpretations, or
judgments regarding what constitutes an acceptable standard or requirement, or
regarding compliance with such standard or requirement, shall be made by the Director.
➢ All entities may exceed the applicable standards or requirements.
➢ No entity shall be allowed to engage in Activities at the Airport under conditions
that do not comply with these Minimum Standards, unless an exemption or
variance has been approved by the City Council.
These Minimum Standards shall apply to any new Agreement or any new amendment to
any existing Agreement relating to the leasing and/or occupancy of land or Improvements
for Activities. If an Operator desires, under the terms of an existing Agreement, to change
its Activities, the Operator shall comply with these Minimum Standards, unless an
exemption or variance has been granted by the City Council.

These Minimum Standards shall not affect any Agreement or amendment
thereto properly executed prior to the date of adoption of these Minimum

Agreement under which an Operator is required to exceed these Minimum
Standards nor prohibit the City from entering into or enforcing an Agreement or
amendment thereto that requires an Operator to exceed these Minimum
Standards.
Any entity currently engaging in Activities without an Agreement shall have six months
from the date of adoption, to comply with these Minimum Standards.
