Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES





Developing A National Airport System:

Additional Congressional

Guidance Needed




In the next decade, over $10 billion will be
needed to develop a national airport system.
Of this, about $3 billion is needed to develop
some 2,600 general aviation airports to serve
business and pleasure flying, However, addi-
tional congressional guidance is needed to
help identify those general aviation airports
essential to a national airport system.

State and local airport planning financed with
Federal grants was to support development of
the national airport system; this has not oc-
curred. Federal legislation should be enacted
to require State and local airport plans as a
prerequisite for Federal airport development
grants.

Sufficient grant funds have not been available
to finance airport improvements. Also, the
existing method for funding such improve-
ments has not been effective in implementing
a national airport system. The Congress                      109129
shuld establish priorities for-distFritin-
Iederal airport development grants.
