With the lease on the lone FBO at Iowa’s Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (KCBF) set to expire next year, the Council Bluffs Airport Authority (CBAA) has issued a request for proposals for the management of the facility, which is currently operated by Revv Aviation.
In addition to a modern 2,000-sq-ft terminal, the complex includes 60,000 sq ft of ramp and a 24,000-gallon-capacity fuel farm. While the airport does have hangar space, there is none associated with the FBO lease.
The CBAA told AIN that it wishes to expand KCBF and believes that the development of additional aircraft hangar space—ranging between 10,000 sq ft and 40,000 sq ft based on market demand—would be appropriate for the FBO.
The authority noted that the length of the potential lease will be based on capital investment by the respondent and suggested that investment levels exceeding $2 million and 20,000 sq ft of commercial hangar storage would be eligible for minimum lease terms of 30 years with negotiable renewal options.
All proposals are due June 2, 2025, by 3 p.m. via email to CBAA executive director Andy Biller.
