The private company managing Macon's airports under a temporary contract would take over long-term if the city pays the cost of running the airports plus a $15,000 monthly management fee, according to its proposal to privatize the city's aviation department. TBI Airport Management's proposal was the only one turned in by a Friday deadline set by the city. Whether Macon will accept TBI's offer and privatize the city's two airports or keep an aviation department under more direct city control remains to be seen.
