Airports – A Vital Transportation System
Global destinations are connected
to US airports—
and it would take 28 years
to visit them all.
Passengers travel through
America’s airports yearly.
That is 2 million every day!
Pounds of cargo are processed at
American airports yearly.

“In most cases, no local, state, or federal taxes are used to fund commercial airports.”
“Most commercial airports are funded almost entirely through ticket taxes and fees that
passengers pay every time they buy a ticket.”

How Airports Are Funded: Facts vs. Fiction
15 AirportsForTheFuture.org15 AirportsForTheFuture.org
Did You Know?
Airports are LOCALLY OWNED and LOCALLY OPERATED
Airports run independently and responsibly, MUCH LIKE BUSINESSES
Airports are focused on NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY
Airports are LARGELY FUNDED BY USERS
Airports receive VERY LITTLE, IF ANY, TAXPAYER FUNDED SUPPORT
16 AirportsForTheFuture.org16 AirportsForTheFuture.org
How Airports Are Funded: Facts vs. Fiction
Unlike most transportation infrastructure, most airport improvement funds are derived from fees paid by passengers and other users of the airport or from bonds backed by airport revenues
17 AirportsForTheFuture.org17 AirportsForTheFuture.org
Facts About Airport Funding
Airports are locally owned and operated. Commercial airports are owned and operated by public entities, including local, regional or state authorities with the power to issue tax-exempt bonds to finance some of their capital needs.
Airports are landlords. Airport operations are largely self-sustaining – rent, fees and other charges are assessed to businesses that operate at the airport, including airlines.
Airports are largely funded by those who use them. Revenues come from fees paid by passengers, airlines and businesses operating at the airport
America’s airports are largely self-sustaining and do not drain precious local tax dollars away from other important government
services

How {AIRPORT CODE} Has Managed…Thus Far
Navigated federal bureaucracy
Secured funding up front
Implement long-term plans from initial concept to project completion
If major capital programs were needed today, the airport’s ability to deliver would be jeopardized by the insufficient and
unstable federal funding structure and a federal oversight scheme that prevents airports from planning for the future.
28 AirportsForTheFuture.org
An Unsustainable Status Quo
Despite {AIRPORT CODE}’s excellent track record, key funding decisions reside in Washington – not our community– Airports have become
victims of political dynamics
Outdated and inefficient federal funding model =
1. No long term planning.
2. No stability.
3. No local control.

What It Means to {AIRPORT CODE}…..and You
Without a change, these funding challenges will impact[NAME OF COMMUNITY]
(Choose from options below or create your own)
Capping Capacity:
Preventing the growth that could
come from expansion
Affecting Safety Improvements:
Forcing airport to work on
Washington’s schedule, not community’s
Impairing ability to compete for
passengers and service
Creating Project Delays and
Inefficiencies: Forcing airports to work within a broken system

The Problem….And Solution
Next Opportunity: 2015
{AIRPORT CODE}’s ability to meet the future needs of our community is at risk.
{AIRPORT CODE} is a crucial engine of economic growth and development.
We need your help to help to create support for a long-term funding system that gives [Airport Code] the certainty and
resources needed to plan together for our future
32 AirportsForTheFuture.org32 AirportsForTheFuture.org
What {AIRPORT CODE} Needs
Long term stability: New airport funding legislation should have a multi-year horizon that gives airports the certainty they need to begin, and complete, new projects.
More local empowerment: Washington should provide local communities with more flexibility to develop the programs that work best for each airport
Flexible, adequate funding sources: A new funding scheme should provide airports with multiple funding choices and ensure that the system has sufficient resources to meet nationwide needs.
Reduced Debt financing: Policy should help to reduce airports’ need for debt financing and work to maintain tax exempt status for airport bonds
Streamlined approval process: New policy should reduce unnecessary bureaucracy and provide airports with clear guidance and practical pathways for approvals.

How You Can Help {AIRPORT CODE}
Provide us with a statement validating how the airport has helped this community grow and develop
Include the airport when you speak about the crucial economic drivers in this community
Help us tell our stories to other important community leaders – via meetings, presentations, and
introductions
