Sierra West Airlines was over $15,000 past due in rent payments less than a year ago according to documents received by The Leader from the City of Oakdale requested under the Public Information Act. At that same time, in March 2013, the Oakdale City Council voted to raise rents for all the airport hangars, but city officials cut a closed-door deal with Sierra West allowing the business to pay only $1350 per hangar rent for each of the two facilities that would have been billed at $2,000 each or $4,000 total. Sierra West Airlines, which also operates at the facility under the names of Pak West Airlines and Carreer (sic) Aviation according to city records, rents Hangars L-1 and L-2 which include office space and Hangar L-3 at the airport.
