The story

Clinton National Airport (LIT) is a publicly-owned government agency operating as a component unit of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is debt-free and self-funded from airport revenues without local, state, or federal tax dollars. The airport hosts approximately 2 million annual passengers across six airlines. Recent administrative focus has been on professionalizing procurement through e-procurement portals (B2GNow), purchasing card programs, and structured vendor engagement — the embedded finance footprint reflects a public-sector entity rather than a fintech platform.
