B. The Airlines are granted the use of the space(s) so designated for the purposes normally associated with an Air Carrier’s use of the space, except that in no event shall the same be construed to permit occupation thereof as a car rental or leasing agency, for hotel or lodge reservations (including telephone “hot lines” therefor) or for Taxi or Limousine services; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the use of the space for ground transportation services contracted for by the Airline to transport its passengers and/or freight by ground transportation in lieu of scheduled flights necessitated by the temporary closure of the Airport by bad weather. The rights of the Airlines under this section shall also include the right of them to carry air freight into and out of the Airport and to make surface pickup and delivery of such freight.

Emergency conditions for purposes of this subsection shall include equipment failure, adverse weather conditions, or other causes beyond the control of the Airlines resulting in the Airlines’ inability to provide air transportation. The Director of Aviation, in his or her sole discretion, shall determine when an emergency condition exists. The Director of Aviation may act as agent for the Airlines and may impose and collect a reasonable charge for such transportation, to be paid over to Pitkin County or its agent, for providing such substitute service.

Items required by such legislation or regulatory agencies may be situated in any area.

F. If the Director of Aviation determines, on occasion, that safety of the public requires or, due to the lateness of the hour or for other reasonable causes, convenience requires use of a remote passenger boarding space or area, such space or area shall be considered as added on to the passenger boarding space of the Airline on a temporary basis. Subject to reasonable rules and regulations, the Airline shall have the right to use ten (10) employee Parking spaces in an area designated by the Director of Aviation.
