Medium PriorityTaxes Budgetopen

Airport financial health and enterprise fund status

Summary

The airport finished the fiscal year 11.6% above budget on revenue and doesn't cost the city anything — it's self-funded and its surpluses legally stay at the airport. It's a win for taxpayers, but the airport still struggles to fund big capital projects like a $4–5 million parking lot repaving.
