This enabled the airport to increase its annual PFC collections by 33% and meet its capital needs.<\/li>\n<li>For a medium hub airport, we proved an airport\u2019s PFC projects initially approved at the $3.00 rate met the same \u201csignificant contribution\u201d standard to qualify for the $4.50 rate, enabling the airport to avoid a 33% reduction in annual PFC collections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For expert analysis, consider contracting financial experts who know the airport business to assist with the financial review of your airport. Often, you will realize a substantial return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>Unison Consulting&#8217;s Finance Team provides airport clients with a wide range of financial services.
