Budget Analysis Report On Aviation Revenue & Marketing Incentive Fees

The Massachusetts Port Authority Community Advisory Committee (Massport CAC) retained the services of the University of Massachusetts Boston Edward J. Collins, Jr. Center for Public Management (Collins Center) to analyze and assess Massport’s budget with an emphasis on Aviation Revenue and Marketing Incentive Fees. The Collins Center Project Team (Project Team) conducted research into some of Massport’s financial operations through reviewing documents provided by Massport, reviewing available data, and reviewing relevant materials as they pertain to Massport budgets with an emphasis on Aviation Revenue and Marketing Incentive Fees.

This document also describes a review of practices related to aviation revenue and marketing incentives. The review was performed for the Massport CAC by Spy Pond Partners, LLC (SPP) under subcontract to the Collins Center as part of a broader review of Massport practices, and took place in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
