Before such transfer shall be made the transferee by written agreement shall assume the unfulfilled obligation to the Commonwealth to operate the airport or landing area under any and all agreements executed by any prior licensee or licensees of such airport or landing area to procure state funds for such airport or landing area.
Upon conveyance, death, dissolution, or bankruptcy of a licensee, the airport license may be transferred. Transfer shall be effected within 180 days after death or dissolution of the licensee or the airport license shall become null and void.
