Hi Wolfgang,

I don't have any specific numbers for you but many US city/county
governments now make their bugets available online. If you have time
search the web for the information, you should be able to find out how
much it costs to run many airports as well as how the local
governments are paying for them.

Here are some that I found:

airport)

hi,
i am a GA pilot in austria.
we have been discussing fees, charges etc. where applicable in the USA.
basic question: where does a local / municipal airport that is almost or
even exclusively used by GA make money to keep the airport running?
as you don't have landing fees, is it the fuel purchased by pilots, the
fbo's?
