In 2005, we undertook a study of the impact and relationship of airports in
Texas with the statewide economy. We found that Texas aviation provides over
61,000 jobs, with 2.5 billion in payroll and 8.7 billion in total economic
output.
Texas has two of the top 10 busiest airports in the nation. It also has 303
public, general-aviation airports and 23 commercial service airports. Airports
help meet our transportation needs and also stimulate economic growth in the local community by providing revenue, jobs, and wages. The
reports below offer an excellent foundation for local communities to promote,
support, and maintain their local aviation facility.

from the daily operation of the Texas airport system.

economic impact of individual commercial service
