'Our market is very hot.' Gulf Shores is poised to build a temporary airport terminal and welcome new flights this summer.
The latest development occurred Monday when the Gulf Shores City Council appeared ready to give the go-ahead to Gulf Shores airport manager Scott Fuller to pursue a short-term agreement for the construction of a modular terminal.
Fuller said the agreement is needed to accommodate commercial airlines poised to enter the coastal Alabama market by August 31. The airport authority anticipates receiving 90% of the landing fees, or an estimated $4,000 per month. Another airline, which has not been named by the authority, is also angling to move into Gulf Shores. That airline, Fuller said, is planning commercial flights up to seven destinations. An announcement on that service is expected by June.
