Greeneville Municipal Airport Manager Angela Alley told members of the Airport Authority Wednesday fuel sales have been up a bit recently, and that has helped improve the airports operating budget bottom line greatly.
Alley admitted some of that no doubt has come from the Morristown Flying Service having been based out of Greeneville recently while their airport was closed. It did reopen this week.
Overall the past three months, the airport budget has cruised back into positive numbers, and has done so without having to dip into the recent $100,000 allocation.
In a five year plan which had been created for presentation to the City Council at a since postponed budget workshop, Alley says the goal remains to be in positive numbers with less appropriations from the Town.
