Abstract:

This paper examines selected alternative methods of financing the National Airspace System (NAS), and presents information on the consequences to major system users of alternative financing mechanisms. The paper examines alternatives that have been proposed either in the United States or other nations; no new financing mechanisms have been developed. A critical factor in examining these alternatives is that under all alternatives there is likely to be controversy based on perceptions of who is paying a fair share of the costs of the system. This controversy is exacerbated by the fact, documented in the recent study by Coopers & Lybrand, that the FAA does not currently have a cost accounting system that would allow a more detailed, ongoing examination of the costs of operating the NAS. However, despite the lack of a cost accounting system, Arthur Anderson and Coopers & Lybrand concluded that the GRA Cost Allocation study can provide an appropriate basis for an interim set of user fees.
