Roughly 3,300 of the public-use airports across the United States
have been determined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
to be significant to national air transportation. These airports
form a national airport system intended to provide convenient
access to air transportation and support important national
functions, such as defense, emergency readiness, and postal
delivery. These airports are eligible to receive federal Federal
Aviation Administration (AIP) grants to help fund their capital
development. Commercial service airports -- if they choose and
subject to federal approval -- are also authorised to collect local
passenger facility charges (PFC) from passengers, which are also
used to fund capital development projects. This book discusses how
much national system airports received in funding for capital
development projects from 2009 through 2013 and from which sources;
the estimated costs of airports' planned capital development from
2015 through 2019; how past funding levels compare with planned
development costs; and how changes to AIP funding and the maximum
allowable PFC might affect airport funding.
