general aviation airports into four
categories based on their activity
levels - national, regional, local and
basic - to help capture their diverse
functions and economic contributions.
In 2014, an in-depth review of the
nearly 500 unclassified airports listed
in the original study was conducted as
a follow-on study.
Overall, these reports document
many important aeronautical functions
that are economically and effectively
supported at general aviation airports,
many of which cannot be supported at
primary commercial service airports.
The categories of f lights serving the
public interest include:
COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND ECONOMIC
ACTIVITIES
* Agricultural support
* Aerial surveying and observation
* Low-orbit space launch and
landing
DESTINATION AND SPECIAL
EVENTS
* Tourism and access to special
events
* Intermodal connections (rail, ship)
* Special aeronautical (skydiving, air
shows)
General aviation airports are
diverse and their aeronautical functions
have evolved over time to meet the
specific needs of the communities
they serve. As a result, the U.S.
has the largest and most diverse
system of general aviation airports
in the world. Airport-based tenant
businesses continue to play a key role
in preserving jobs and the economic
health of communities, as well as
delivering vital services to a broad
range of industries that rely on them
and the airport for support.
Helping others understand the
many benefits of general aviation is
essential to protecting the industry,
preserving tenant businesses and
empowering regional economic
growth.
