Air Service Incentive Program

Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) is committed to supporting airlines that expand air service and strengthen connectivity for Arkansas travelers. The airport offers an Air Service Development Incentive Program to help offset the startup costs associated with new or expanded nonstop service. The decision to offer the incentive program remains the sole discretion of LIT.

Eligibility

  • New nonstop service to unserved destinations
  • Competing service in markets currently served by a single carrier
  • Expanded service that results in a net increase in capacity
  • Seasonal service to unserved destinations (not served in the previous season)

Incentive Period

  • Incentives are available for up to 12 months.
  • If service is reduced or discontinued before that period ends, incentives will conclude at the same time.

Available Incentives

  • Aircraft remain overnight (RON) parking fees
  • Landing fees
  • Common-use ticket counter fees (if applicable)
  • Common-use gate per-turn fees (if applicable)
  • Common-use space charges
  • Curbside baggage service fees
  • Fee waivers are based on total operations, including those of affiliated regional capacity providers.

Marketing Support

  • LIT may provide marketing and advertising support to promote new or expanded service.
  • Funding must be used before the incentive period expires.
  • Funding amount will not exceed $75,000.
  • Advertising must be approved by both LIT and the airline.
  • Campaigns must be specific to Little Rock and include the airport’s logo.
  • Airlines may exceed the marketing amount at their own expense.
