PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, STRATEGIC PLANNING, AND PERFORMANCE-BASED BUDGETING IN ILLINOIS LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC AIRPORTS

This study focuses on the extent to which regional and local airports in Illinois use performance measures and strategic planning, and whether performance measures and strategic planning are integrated into a performance-based budgeting system. A total of 21 public airports, including both airline-based and general aviation facilities, were surveyed. Results showed that 40% of airport administrators used strategic planning, but performance measures were used by only 20% of the survey respondents. The performance measures that are used are actually directly linked to mostly general airport operations. Budget allocations are not based on performance, nor is budgeting linked to strategic plans or performance measurement. Despite these findings, the managers showed concern and increased awareness of the performance measurement possibilities and tools that airport managers can use.
