The story of airports extends far beyond the physical airport. The Beyond the Runway Coalition brings together a wide variety of industry stakeholders seeking to ensure that airports remain strong economic engines and job centers in their local communities. Together, they are aligned in support for modernizing airport infrastructure financing to ensure our nation’s airports have the resources they need to remain competitive and thriving hubs of economic opportunity.
America’s airports generate more than $1.4 trillion in annual activity and support more than 11.5 million jobs. Passenger traffic through our airports has dramatically increased over the past several years, but our antiquated aviation infrastructure has not kept pace with this overwhelming demand. To help our airports grow and remain competitive the coalition supports the following policy initiatives that will modernize and improve our nation’s airport infrastructure:
- Remove the outdated federal cap on the Passenger Facility Charge
- Protect the Airport Improvement Program
- Maintain the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds
