Vector Airport Systems Payment Information

Effective January 1, 2024, Vector Airport Systems (“Vector”) assumed the billing and collection of landing fees on behalf of Meadows Field Airport (“KBFL”).

“Landing fees” is a commonly used term that refers to aircraft operating fees. Landing fees for KBFL are currently charged using the time of arrival. Please be aware that touch-and-go operations are considered arrivals and thus are billed.

Vector will assess and bill fees in accordance with the Airport’s established Landing Fee schedule. Please note that landing fees are calculated using the aircraft’s FAA-certified MLW.

Vector transmits a monthly invoice to an aircraft’s registered owner or management company after the conclusion of each month. Convenient online bill payments and account management can be made through Vector’s self-service web portal.

Vector’s self-service web portal* allows operators to:

  • Make credit card payments
  • Update account information including email and mailing address
  • View Authorization to Bill letters and W9s
  • Enroll in electronic invoicing
  • View account history
  • View and download invoices to .csv files for use in MS Excel

*The portal login is based on your Vector invoice number and Vector operator ID.
