Study Elements

Economic Impact Study

State Airport System Plan

General Aviation Security Study

What does your airport mean to your Community?

……depends on who you ask!

A source of high paying jobs

Reliable transportation

An economic catalystOR

We have an airport?

Noise, pollution, drain on local resources

Aviation in the US is a $1 trillion industry!

GA - $77 billion - 685,500 jobs

CS - $933 billion – 9.3 million jobs

ODOT asked this question for Ohio

Followed an FAA-approved methodology

Collected “Real” data from each airport

Updated 1994 information

Provides each airport with usable information to “Get the Word Out”

Economic Impact Study Process

Direct impacts – On-airport

Indirect impacts – Visitors

Multiplier impacts

Health, welfare, & safety

Airport Roles

Airport Role Runway Length

Air Carrier More than 6,500’

Advanced Service 5,000’ to 6,499’

Intermediate Service 4,000’ to 4,999’

General Service 3,200’ to 3,999’

Basic Service 1,800’ to 3,199’

Air Carrier Airport Coverage

System Coverage

> 5,000’ Runway Coverage

> 5,000’ Runway Coverage

Ohio’s Ability to Serve VLJs

In general, Ohio’s airports are well suited to serve VLJ

Relatively low acquisition/operating costs

4 to 6 seat jet aircraft

93 airports - > 3,500’ rwy

66 airports offer Jet A

90% airports offer instrument approach

System Costs vs. Benefits

$117 million in capital projects needed to meet GA airports’ existing system facility objectives

Local planning needs not included

General aviation creates impacts of $1.7 billion annually

Federal funding for GA is approximately $31 million annually

ConclusionsOhio State Airport System gives

more than it gets!

$10.5 billion in economic impact

Airport system provides outstanding coverage

Moderate growth is forecast

$117 million in investments are needed to enhance existing system
