Rural Airports: Lifelines for Economy, Threatened by Privatization
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Small regional airports and general aviation are vital for rural communities, supporting jobs, attracting investment, and connecting towns to larger markets. However, recent events have exposed vulnerabilities in the system, including staffing shortages and modernization delays. Privatization is not the solution, as it could leave rural airports at risk of reduced services and higher fees. Congress has better options, such as ensuring essential personnel are paid during shutdowns and investing in technology upgrades and workforce expansion.
