Georgia Airports Mean Business Georgia's airport system of 104 publicly-owned, public-use airports, comprised of nine commercial service and 95 general aviation airports, are essential to the state's transportation and economic infrastructure, supporting its diversified industries including, but not limited to, aerospace technology, manufacturing, distribution, tourism, and agriculture. Airports connect Georgia's citizens and businesses to the rest of the state, our nation, and the global economy and serve as a vital transportation link for almost every Georgian, regardless of where they live. Airports are the "front door" to communities and provide companies efficient access to their employees and facilities. Airports also provide a gateway for visi- tors and tourists to the mountains, coastal beaches, world-class golf courses, and the hundreds of historic, recreational, and educational sites in communities throughout the state. Georgia's airports are a major catalyst to the state's growing economy. In order to better understand the economic benefit of Georgia's airports to the economy, the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) completed this Statewide Airport Economic Impact Study to quantify the economic contribution of the state's airport system. The study was funded 95 percent by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and five percent by Georgia DOT. In 1992, the economic value of airports in Georgia was estimated at $16.8 billion. Since then, the economic impact of Georgia's airports has grown to $62.6 billion, with more than 471,100 jobs with annual payroll of $17.8 billion, and $136.9 million in direct aviation-related tax revenues to the state. Source: 1992 Georgia Statewide Airport Economic Impact Study and Hartsfield-Atlanta International 1994 Economic Impact Study 1 Georgia's Airport System Georgia is served by a diverse mixture of airports ranging in size from small general aviation airports to busy corporate general aviation reliever airports, to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, the world's busiest commercial service airport. The 2003 Georgia Aviation System Plan designated airports according to the role they play within Georgia's system and are defined as: Level III Airport of national and regional significance Level II Business airport of regional and local significance Level I Business airport of local significance The Georgia Aviation System Plan establishes airport development goals and guides funding priorities for the airport system. This Statewide Economic Impact Executive Summary continues the basic framework established previously and the economic benefits of all airports are grouped by level. 2 TN NC 59 LaFayette Dalton Calhoun Rome Blairsville Ellijay Dahlonega Jasper Cornelia Toccoa 75 Cartersville Cedartown Gainsville 85 Canton Atlanta/Marietta - RYY Lawrenceville Jefferson Winder Canon Elberton Level III Commercial Service Level III General Aviation Level II General Aviation Level I General Aviation Interstate Highway Atlanta/Dallas - PUJ Atlanta - FTY Monroe Atlanta - PDK Athens Washington 20 Atlanta - ATL Carrolton Atlanta/Peachtree City - FFC Atlanta/Newnan - CCO Madison Covington Hampton Greensboro Milledgeville Thomson 20 Wrens SC Augusta Daniel Field Augusta Regional LaGrange 85 Griffin 75 Warm Springs Sandersville Waynesboro Pine Mountain 185 AL Columbus Thomaston Butler Montezuma Macon Downtown Louisville Millen Macon Middle Georgia Swainsboro Perry 16 Cochran Dublin Soperton Metter Sylvania Statesboro Buena Vista Hawkinsville Eastman McRae Vidalia 16 Claxton Savannah Americus Cordele Hazlehurst Reidsville Hinesville Cuthbert Dawson Albany 75 Ashburn Fitzgerald Baxley Blakely Donalsonville Sylvester Tifton Douglas Alma Camilla Moultrie - MUL Moultrie - MGR Nashville Waycross Adel Homerville Jesup Nahunta Bainbridge Cairo Thomasville Quitman Valdosta Folkston 95 Brunswick St. Simons Island Jekyll Island St. Marys Miles 0 12.5 25 50 75 100 FL Study Methodology The Georgia DOT commissioned this study to quantify the economic contribution of the state's airport system using an FAA-approved methodology of survey data and modeling estimates. The economic impacts considered all aviation activities taking place at each of the 104 airports from the following sources: On-Airport Businesses There are many aviation-related businesses located on airports. Activities of these businesses and their employees are a significant source of the annual economic benefit to the state. Examples of businesses in this category include airlines, fixed base operators, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control towers, air cargo providers, aircraft charter services, flight instructors, and airport management. Airport Capital Improvement Projects Construction projects undertaken by airport owners and on-airport businesses contribute to the economic benefits of the airport by providing increased jobs and through the purchases of goods and services within the community. Airport Visitors Visitors to Georgia often arrive on commercial airlines or general aviation aircraft for business and leisure. Once in Georgia, these visitors stimulate local economies by spending money on lodging, food, other transportation, shopping, recreation, and entertainment. Multipliers The economic benefits provided by on-airport businesses, airport capital improvement projects, and airport visitors are responsible for generating additional multiplier economic impacts in the community and region. For example, when an aircraft mechanic uses his or her paycheck to purchase groceries, those dollars may support a grocer's payroll, the grocer may spend money on child care, the child care provider might purchase automobile maintenance, and so on, until those payroll dollars originating from airport activity leave the community and state. This spending and re-spending generates additional economic activity in the region. 3 Economic Impact Measures Total Jobs 471,175 Total Payroll $17.8 billion Total Economic Output $62.6 billion The economic benefits calculated for each of the airports were based on comprehensive survey data provided by airport managers, airport tenants, non-aviation businesses that utilize the airports, general aviation pilots and passengers, and commercial service passengers to determine direct economic impacts, which are related to on-airport business activity, airport construction, and visitor spending. Economic benefits of Georgia's airports are expressed in terms of jobs, payroll, and total economic output. Jobs measure the number of full-time equivalent jobs related to direct airport activity, including on-airport construction impacts. A parttime employee counts as one half of a full-time employee. The multiplier effect is not as easy to measure as direct impacts; therefore, it was important to employ a reliable method to estimate these multiplier impacts. The Impact Analysis for Planning (IMPLAN), a national economic modeling program recognized by the FAA, was used to quantify multiplier impacts using Georgia specific regional multipliers. Payroll measures the total annual wages, salary, and benefits paid to all workers whose employment is directly attributed to airport activity. Economic Output measures the value of goods, services, and capital expenditures in Georgia linked to aviation. 4 Economic Impact Summary Airports connect Georgia's citizens and businesses to the rest of the state, our nation, and the global economy. The total economic contribution of Georgia's 104 public-use airports is the sum of the on-airport businesses, the spending of visitors, and the additional activity of the recirculation of spending of on-airport businesses and visitors. Georgia's airports contribute significantly to the state's economy, supporting 471,175 jobs, $17.8 billion in payroll, and $62.6 billion in statewide economic impact. More than 82,000 people are directly employed at Georgia airports and generate more than $5.9 billion in annual payroll.

Some businesses own or charter corporate aircraft, many have employees who travel regularly via commercial airlines, others have customers or suppliers who use the airport system to reach them, and many rely on express or air cargo services. A statewide survey of more than 1,300 businesses indicates there are numerous additional jobs that are reliant on the system of public-use airports. Industries surveyed include manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, finance, insurance, real estate, and professional service sectors. This data indicates there are more than 591,000 jobs in Georgia that in some way benefit from the daily operation of the airport system. When major businesses were asked to rank the top reasons why they choose to locate where they do, convenient access to a scheduled commercial service airport was ranked 6th while access to a general aviation airport was ranked 10th. Qualitative Benefits of Airports Georgia's airport system provides statewide residents with many qualitative aspects beyond the measurable economic benefits presented in this study. Qualitative benefits are those activities that take place at an airport on a regular basis and add to the quality of life, but are difficult to assign a value. Qualitative benefits are related to health, welfare, and safety of individuals in the airport's community. Examples of the qualitative benefits of Georgia's airports include: air ambulance operators trans- porting critical patients to medical facilities; Georgia National Guard's aviation assets being utilized for emergency evacuations and search-and-rescue operations during natural disasters; Georgia State Patrol flying missions in conjunction with local law enforcement departments to aid in fugitive searches; and youth outreach and educational events. These activities may be difficult to place a dollar value on the benefits to communities, but the benefits resulting from these activities improve the quality of life of Georgia's residents. Qualitative benefits of Georgia's airports include providing support to: Air ambulance patient transfer Search-and-rescue operations Local law enforcement Medical doctor and organ transport Aerial agricultural operations U.S. military and other government agencies Environmental patrols Emergency evacuation Flight training Airshows, community events, school field trips and youth educational events Real estate tours 11 Georgia Aviation-Related Tax Revenue Summary AvGas Excise Tax ($0.01/gal) $55,300 Aviation Goods & Services Sales Tax (4%) $40,649,200 AvGas Sales Tax (4%) $790,000 Jet Fuel Sales Tax (4%) $40,830,000 Aircraft Property Tax $54,643,000 Total = $136,967,500 Source: Georgia Department of Revenue, Georgia Department of Transportation, and Internal Revenue Service, 2009 12 Aviation Helps Fuel Georgia's General Fund Annually, aviation contributes significant revenue to the state's general fund and local governments, providing nearly $137 million in revenue in 2009, a 37% increase from 2001 aviation-related tax revenues. A one cent per gallon state excise tax on AvGas and the 4% state sales tax on both AvGas and Jet A fuel generated $41.6 million; the 4% state sales tax on aviation goods and services, including aircraft sales and parts, generated $40.6 million; and aircraft property tax contributed $54.2 million to local governments across the state in 2009. Despite a decline in the volume of aviation fuels sold in 2009, down to 795 million gallons from more than one billion gallons in 2001, the average retail sales price nearly doubled from 2001 to 2009 for both AvGas and Jet A, thereby increasing state sales tax revenues.

These states annually invest more than $20 million into their programs, a stark contrast to Georgia's annual Airport Aid Program funding, which has remained relatively constant since the early 1970s. The Southeastern states of Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky continue to have state aviation programs exceeding the funding level of Georgia's program. These seven states are Georgia's fiercest competitors for economic and industrial development opportunities. Only Georgia and South Carolina rely solely on general fund appropriations for their state aviation programs. The remaining states dedicate aviation fuel tax, motor fuel tax, and tax from the sale of aviation goods and services as sources of funding for their aviation programs. A survey of Georgia businesses indicated close proximity to commercial service and general aviation airports among the top 10 business location factors.
