The city of Bend is working to reach a settlement with two aviation companies at the Bend Municipal Airport that filed a $15.3 million lawsuit against the city alleging fraud and breach of contract, according to city officials.

The settlement could mark the end of years of legal battles between the city of Bend and Aero Facilities and Professional Air, two tenants at the Bend Municipal Airport. The companies say the city committed fraud and breached contracts when dealing with development and lease agreements at the airport, but the city says the two companies’ claims aren’t valid.
