There are more than 19,800 aviation facilities in the United States. 5,171 of those are public use facilities. The
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) includes 3,355 public use landing facilities, of which 3,330
are existing and 25 are proposed.
The FAA has further categorized general aviation airports to help guide policy makers when
making decisions regarding airport development.
The FAA estimates that
over the next five years,
(2013-2017), there will be
$42.5 billion of airport
infrastructure projects
eligible for Airport
Improvement Program
(AIP) funding.
General aviation airports provide important services for
both local communities and the national aviation system.
