airports have a base cost that it takes to keep the lights on, the intent of the funding is to offset the lost of revenue from a sequestered traveling public.
Our airport gets almost nothing from the "traveling public".
There is a very minimal landing fee for commercial flights,
of which there are very few & I'll bet most if not all are unreported.
(we have no onsite management personnel)
The rent for the airport-owned hangars, & land leases for private hangars,
is continuing to be billed at full rate.
They get a flowage fee from the privatized fuel concessionaire--
yes, fuel sales are off, but they don't usually amount to a helluva lot to begin with.
The main impact to the Port is going to be commercial tenants that won't weather the economic storm.
I think the three airport businesses will be OK, the marina businesses maybe not so much.
.....As far as $ given, like the stimulus before, money goes to project ready to build, as in all engineering completed ready to advertise....
I don't think this is the case, at least at my airport.
We have a big runway reconstruction project starting May 4,
$3M+, but it is already funded.
And but one small portion of that project is already 100% FAA funded (instead of the usual 90%).
There are no other projects that are anywhere close to being actually planned out
(as opposed to just day dreamed about) as far as I know,
let alone any that are "shovel-ready".
