Importance of Airports

Aviation affects our lives both directly and indirectly. We are affected by the transportation of people, goods, and mail both locally and worldwide. Airports are considered as economic engines and as a means of supporting businesses and creating jobs. According to the Virginia Department of Aviation’s economic impact study for 2011, we have created 107 jobs with a payroll of $4.4 million. In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration™ declared that airports contribute $64.5 billion to the nations’ economy with all of the activities that are performed here. We are dedicated to general aviation and the economic development of the region that is responsible for the annual income of $18.4 million.
