Lease & Revenue Management
Streamline airport lease administration, tenant billing, and revenue tracking in one integrated platform built for aviation compliance.
Managing airport leases, tenant relationships, and aeronautical revenue across dozens of agreements and stakeholders is a complex, error-prone process when handled through spreadsheets and disconnected systems. Aerosimple's Lease & Revenue Management solution brings every contract, billing cycle, space assignment, and compliance obligation into a single, auditable platform.

Why it matters
Lease administration errors and billing delays directly erode airport revenue and damage tenant relationships. Automated billing tied to executed lease terms eliminates manual calculation mistakes, accelerates cash collection, and gives finance teams a real-time view of what is owed and what has been collected.
Compliance with GASB 87 governmental lease accounting standards requires precise tracking of lease classifications, commencement dates, and liability schedules. Built-in GASB 87 support means your accounting team can produce audit-ready reports without rebuilding data from scattered sources each quarter.
Transparent waitlist and space management reduces the risk of disputes and fair-access complaints — a growing concern for publicly owned airports. A single source of truth for every hangar assignment and tenant interaction protects the airport both operationally and legally.
How airports use it
A regional airport managing 200 based aircraft and 40 commercial tenants can use the solution to replace a patchwork of spreadsheets and paper leases with a centralized system. When a hangar becomes available, staff activate the waitlist queue, assign the space in Property & Space Management, generate a lease in Lease & Contract Management, and trigger the first invoice in Financials & Billing — all within a single workflow. Inspection records are attached to the tenant file before move-in, creating a defensible condition baseline.
For larger commercial tenants, the Tenant Self-Service Portal reduces routine inquiries by giving tenants direct access to their invoices, lease documents, and service requests around the clock. Finance directors use the Revenue Management dashboards to report monthly aeronautical revenue performance to their boards, while the GASB 87 module feeds the figures required for annual financial statement footnotes — eliminating hours of manual reconciliation at year-end.
Frequently asked questions
- What types of airport agreements does Lease & Revenue Management support?
- The solution handles the full range of airport lease and license agreements, including hangar leases, tie-down licenses, terminal retail leases, ground leases, and FBO agreements. Every contract is version-controlled with automated renewal alerts so your team never misses a critical deadline.
- Does the solution help airports comply with GASB 87 accounting standards?
- Yes. The dedicated GASB 87 module automates right-of-use asset and lease liability calculations required under governmental accounting standards. This eliminates manual spreadsheet work, reduces audit risk, and produces the documentation your finance team and auditors need at period close.
- Can Aerosimple handle both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue tracking?
- Absolutely. The Revenue Management module provides dashboards that separately track aeronautical revenue such as hangar rents and tie-down fees alongside non-aeronautical sources like retail and concession income. Airport finance teams get a consolidated view of all revenue streams in one auditable platform.
- How does the platform manage hangar waitlists fairly and transparently?
- The Waitlist Management module maintains a timestamped, auditable queue for hangars and tie-down spaces. Applicants receive automated notifications when their position changes or a space becomes available, giving airport management a defensible, transparent process that reduces disputes and manual follow-up.
- Does Lease & Revenue Management integrate with existing airport financial or ERP systems?
- Aerosimple is designed to connect with external financial and ERP systems so billing data, invoice records, and payment reconciliations can flow between platforms without duplicate data entry. Contact our team to discuss the specific integrations available for your current technology environment.
- What does the tenant self-service portal allow tenants to do?
- Tenants can log in to view their lease documents, check upcoming invoices, make payments, submit maintenance or inspection requests, and update contact information without calling the airport office. This reduces administrative workload for airport staff while improving the tenant experience.
- How long does it typically take to implement Lease & Revenue Management at an airport?
- Implementation timelines vary based on the number of existing leases, data migration complexity, and modules selected, so Aerosimple works with each airport to build a tailored onboarding plan. The platform is purpose-built for aviation, which significantly reduces configuration time compared to adapting generic property management software.
