KEY: NPIAS = National Plan of
Integrated Airport Systems.
a The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation
Administration's (FAA's) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems is
composed of all commercial service airports, all reliever airports, and
selected general aviation airports. It does not include over 1,000 publicly
owned public-use landing areas, privately owned public-use airports, and
other civil landing areas not open to the general public. NPIAS airports account for almost all
enplanements. In 2005, there were
approximately 16,500 non-NPIAS airports. See table 1-3 for more detail on
airports.
b Commercial service airports are defined as public airports
receiving scheduled passenger service, and having at least 2,500 enplaned
passengers per year.
NOTES
Data are as of January 1 of each year. Runway pavement condition
is classified by the FAA as follows:
Good: All cracks and joints are sealed.
Fair: Mild surface cracking, unsealed joints, and slab edge
spalling.
Poor:
Large open cracks, surface and edge spalling, vegetation growing through
cracks and joints.
