Which entity is listed as an exception to FMV for non-aeronautical rates in more than one context?

• A. Military
• B. Transit
• C. Community Purposes
• D. Not-for-Profits

Answer: (A)

Understanding FMV for non-aeronautical rates means recognizing when market-based pricing applies and when it doesn’t. For most non-aeronautical uses at airports—like concessions, retail, or parking—the charges should reflect fair market value. But government-related uses have special treatment. The military, as a sovereign government entity with national defense duties, is repeatedly listed as an exception to FMV in more than one context. This means its use of airport facilities can be governed by different terms or rate structures rather than standard market-based pricing. That’s why the military is the best choice here: it’s the entity described as an exception across multiple contexts. The other options may have special considerations in some situations, but they aren’t the one consistently identified as an FMV exception in multiple contexts like the military.
