IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR AIRPORT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

The continuing financial problems of rural regional airports have motivated a search for ways of financing capital improvements, which are necessary for the efficient operation of the U.S. airport system. Direct airport revenues do not provide enough funds to defray operational costs, let alone pay for capital projects. Because airport authorities or local government units are required to provide matching funds for federal dollars appropriated, new funding sources must be found. This paper identifies some sources and concludes that they can singly or in combination provide the necessary monies to improve our airports.
