Study Elements • Economic Impact Study • State Airport System Plan • General Aviation Security Study
……depends on who you ask! • A source of high paying jobs • Reliable transportation • An economic catalyst • OR • 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
Economic Impact-Ohio’s System OHIO AIRPORTS CREATE: Impact in 1994 - $7.4 billion ( 42% increase)
Business Location Factors • Highway access • Available labor supply • Tax incentives • Air carrier airport (4th) • Proximity to suppliers • General aviation airport (8th)
Ohio’s Airport System • 105 Airports • 7,200 based aircraft • 4.0 million GA operations • 585,000 CS operations • 11.2 million passengers at 6 . commercial service airports
Study Goals/Process • Last System Plan was 1995 • Data collection • Determine airport roles • Project future activity • Assess Coverage • Geographic • Population • Market area overlaps
Study Goals/Process • Identify facility needs • System recommendations • Estimate costs

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
Conclusions • Ohio 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
