Talking with PASSUR's Newest Customer, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
| As mentioned above, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is one of the newest members of the PASSUR Pulse community. We spoke with Helena James-Rendleman, Director of Finance at the airport, to learn more about why Fort Lauderdale chose PASSUR Landing Fee Management.
PASSUR: Why did you sign up for PASSUR Landing Fee  Management?
FLL: We were looking for an easy way to verify the landing fees that we collect based on self-reporting by the airlines that land at FLL.
PASSUR: What do you plan to do with the system?
FLL: Currently we are just using the system for auditing purposes, but are hoping to gain significant efficiencies by using PASSUR for other purposes, such as the automatic billing of landing fees.
PASSUR: How are things going so far?
FLL: Things are going great! The application is really user-friendly and the data easy to access. The training provided by PASSUR was very helpful.

Tip: Top Five Ways to Avoid Leaving Revenue on the Table
| If your airport is using PASSUR Landing Fee Management, then you've already made big steps toward capturing all the revenue that you've earned. But there are a few areas that are often overlooked, and we want to make sure that you don't miss out. Here are the top five ways airports leave revenue on the table.
- Charter Activity - It's easy to overlook charters since they aren't necessarily regular operators at your airport, but all this information is collected for you to use for billing.
- Cargo Flights - It's unlikely you ever overlook your large cargo operators, but with smaller airlines operating sub-service, they do get passed over from time to time.
- Regional Airlines - Though you might be used to having the same regional airlines operating at your airport, mainline carriers do sometimes substitute other regionals in their place.
- Diversions and Non-Scheduled Activity - Like charters, these tend to be overlooked because of how infrequently they operate.
- RON fees - Those fees for overnight stays do sometimes get overlooked, but they shouldn't. Let us help you capture them.
