The FAA Wants Investors at the Table for the Next Round of Ramp and Runway Work

The Federal Aviation Administration used a recent agency gathering to explore how money from outside investors could add to the public dollars that normally pay for building and improving airports. For owners, the question is what that might mean for the fields where they base, fuel and hangar their aircraft. From Palm Beach to Aspen, construction at a general aviation airport shapes an owner's week in concrete ways, from a closed taxiway to a longer wait for hangar space. The agency is still discussing the idea, and anyone whose tail number is painted on a hangar door has reason to keep an eye on it.
