According to airport spokesman Ken Spirito, the airline didn't pay passenger facility charges for July, August and September. The airline was first given notice 30 days ago, he said.
The $4.50 fee, according to Spirito, is included in passenger's ticket prices and returned back to the airport for capital improvements.
Spirito called today's notice a formality because the airline isn't currently operating at the airport.
PEOPLExpress temporarily suspended flights in September due to aircraft and crew availability and maintenance issues.
PEOPLExpress told 13News Now they had no comment.
