The ACI-NA Medium Hub Airports Committee serves as a platform for airport directors to collaborate on the distinct challenges and opportunities facing mid-sized commercial service airports. Key priorities for the committee include airport infrastructure funding, domestic and international air service development, customs facilitation, economic development, and regulatory flexibility. The FAA classifies airports based on their share of annual passenger boardings within the national aviation system. Medium-hub airports are those that account for at least 0.25 percent but less than 1 percent of total U.S. passenger boardings each year.
