Landing Fees

On January 1, 2024, Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport (“KBRO”) will transition to using PLANEPASS® for landing fees. PLANEPASS® is a purpose-built aircraft billing solution from Vector Airport Systems (“Vector”) for billing and accounts receivable management. Vector’s PLANEPASS® team will bill and manage all payments for KBRO’s landing fees incurred January 1, 2024, and thereafter. Accompanying this notice is the official Authorization to Bill letter. Please note that, currently, PLANEPASS® applies to landing fees and not any other fees issued by the Airport. Upon implementation of PLANEPASS®, payments for landing fees made at the Airport or to the Airport will not be accepted.

“Landing Fees” is a commonly used term that refers to aircraft operating fees. “Landing fees” for KBRO are currently charged using the time of arrival.

Vector will send invoice(s) in February 2024 for January 2024’s billable landing and customs fee activities and all billable activities thereafter to the aircraft’s operator or management company.
