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, additional 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 occurred. 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 t o finance airport improvements. Also, the existing method for funding such improvements has not been effective in implementing a national airport system. The Congress should establish priorities for distributing Federal airport development grants.
