Document Description
New Tech Aircraft Services, Inc. (dba. NTAS Maintenance & Engineering), a California Corporation to Provide On-Call Maintenance to Large Transport Category Aircraft Operated by Southwest Airlines Company, a Texas Corporation, at Fresno Yosemite International Airport. On August 12, 2024, New Tech Aircraft Services, Inc. (dba. NTAS Maintenance & Engineering), a California Corporation (NTAS), entered into a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) with the City of Fresno, Airports Department (Airports), a California Municipal Corporation, to operate at Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) as the on-call maintenance provider to the large transport category aircraft operated by Southwest Airlines Company, a Texas Corporation (Southwest). Airports issued the TUP, as NTAS and Southwest had entered into an Aircraft On-Call Servicing Agreement on May 1, 2024. The Agreement is for a term of three (3) years, which has an expiration date of April 30, 2027. However, the TUP expired on March 1, 2025. Therefore, this License will allow NTAS to continue operating at FAT, without any disruption, as Southwest’s on-call maintenance provider through April 30, 2027. Please be advised this License, as the previous TUP, does not contemplate the leasing of any rentable space within FAT’s terminal building, as NTAS is a Mobile Service Provider (MSP). As an MSP, NTAS is a company that conducts one or more authorized revenue generating aviation activities on or at FAT but does not directly lease space from Airports. The License with NTAS is identified as the proposed project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The License would result in the use of an existing airport terminal facility and would not result in alteration of the existing building footprint or result in a significant increase in capacity of use. No additional direct or indirect physical environmental impacts are anticipated.
