Chief Officer: Robert S. Michael

General Manager

The Regional Airport Authority of Louisville and Jefferson County is an independent public

agency, established by a special act of the State Legislature in 1928. It operates both Standiford

and Bowman Fields in Louisville. An eleven-member Board, appointed by the Mayor of Louisville, the

Jefferson County Judge/Executive and the Governor, make major decisions by setting Authority

policy. The Board members serve without pay.

Board policies are implemented and day-to-day operations and maintenance handled by a staff of

about 142 under the direction of the General Manager.

Some of the jobs performed by the Airport Authority staff are:

Airfield, electrical, structural and heating,

plumbing and air-conditioning - also vehicle

maintenance

Airport Rescue Fire Fighting

Security and communications

Engineering, drafting and survey work

Construction inspection

Accounting and bookkeeping

Contract and lease preparation

Air Service development and promotion

Purchasing

Personnel and employee program management

Public relations

Marketing

Information Specialists

Secretarial

The Airport Authority has nothing to do with the everyday operations of the individual

airlines. Each of them is operated separately by airline management and other personnel. The

airlines, along with other companies and agencies, lease space from the Airport Authority to conduct

business at the airports.

Although the airlines' employees get special discounts and privileges when traveling by air,

Airport Authority employees do not. The Airport Authority does not own any aircraft. Airplanes are

owned by the airlines, flying services or private individuals who use airport facilities.

The Authority's annual budget is $16.6 million. Income for operation of the airports is

derived from landing and field use fees, ground transportation and lease revenue; the Authority does

not receive tax dollars to support the facility. Through the operation of the airports, it is

estimated that airport employees contribute over $13.9 million in State and local taxes.

The Authority has received tremendous support by the federal government in grant money for the

improvement of facilities at both Standiford and Bowman Fields. In the 1988 and 1989 fiscal years,

over $10 million was awarded toward the completion of Standiford Field projects, to include taxiway

and apron construction and airport Rescue service needs.

1612

In 1988, the Authority announced plans to improve Standiford Field through the expansion to a

parallel runway system. This expansion will provide an stimated 27.000 additional jobs for the

community and have an economic benefit estimated at over $40 million in taxes alone by 2010.

Expansion of the airport will allow the addition of improved service, greater efficiency in airline

operations and improved economic viability.

Bowman Field

* Named for A. H. Bowman, an aviation pioneer, who formed the first flying service on the

airfield.

* Operated as the only airport serving Louisville froa 1918 through 1947 with service by Trans

World Airlines, American Airlines and Eastern Cr Lines initiating in 1928.

First paved runway built in 1938, now a network of three runways and nine taxiways complete

with lights and navigational aids are in use.

Military groups have been stationed at the airport since 1922 when the Air Corp Reserve group

arrived. In the 1940s, the Glider Pilot Combat Training and a nurses training school

established operation relative to World War II needs and at present the United States Army

Reserve is based at the airport.

* During World War II, Bowman was considered the busiest airport in the country and today remains

the busiest airport in Kentucky with over 190,000 aircraft operations annually.

* Today a multitude of services are available with flight instruction, aircraft charter and

aircraft repair as just a few.

Standiford Field

* Named for Dr. Elisha David Standiford, a former president of the LAN Railroad, who owned a

portion of the original airport acreage.

* Serves commercial, military, air cargo and general aviation aircraft.

Opened in 1947 to handle air carrier service, today served by ten airlines with over 80

commercial flights daily and over two million passengers served annually.

* Standiford has experienced tremendous growth and improvement over the years such as:

- 1950 Lee Terminal constructed

- 1969 First cargo facility completed

- 1971 Lee Terminal expanded

- 1973 FAA Air Traffic Control Tower opened

1981 FAA Airway Facilities Sector Field Office

and National Weather Service facility opened

- 1982 United Parcel Service began operation

- 1983 10,000 ft. runway completed

- 1984 Second cargo facility constructed

- 1985 Landside Terminal and parking lot/roadway

system completed

- 1989 Airside Terminal completed

* The passenger terminals comprise over 225,000 sq. f

anticipated growth well into the next century.

* The airport consists of two runways and fifteen taxiways

year, the airport currently ranks ninth in the world and
