The Commonwealth Ports Authority is set to meet with all airlines servicing the CNMI to answer questions about the CPA\u2019s new method of assessing airport usage fees. <\/p>\n

According to CPA board chair Kimberlyn King-Hinds, CPA sent out the fiscal year 2022 rate book to all airlines with an invitation to the meeting on Friday. During this meaning, CPA will open the floor for questions regarding CPA\u2019s new methodology. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting will be held to provide information and answer questions on the new methodology. So this is a part of the ongoing consultation process,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\"King-Hinds\"<\/p>\n

Shawn Christian, Star Marianas Air president, said this is a step in the right direction, in regards to the ongoing dispute between CPA and the airlines. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur understanding is that CPA doesn\u2019t intend to enforce several provisions of the law, which they indicate will then bring the new charges into a methodology that meets federal regulations. We haven\u2019t seen anything addressed to us explaining that and we\u2019re a bit unclear as to how an agency can selectively choose which laws it intends to enforce, but if the charges are compliant with federal regulations, then we\u2019re at least moving in a good direction,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

There has been no resolution yet to the dispute between CPA and SMA. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
