Airport Economic Impact Study

To understand and measure the impact of Vermont's public-use airports on the State economy, VTrans undertook an Economic Impact Study. This report summarizes the Study and highlights the significant economic value of the Vermont system of public-use airports.

The Vermont system of seventeen public-use airports generates an annual economic impact of more than $600 million. Over 9,000 jobs and $225 million in wages are attributable to public-use airports and the aviation industry in Vermont. With this Study, the State is pleased to have assessed effectively how these airports contribute to Vermont's economy. However, the Study also documents the impacts of these airports that go beyond financial measure.
