• Abstract:
  Air cargo is a key economic lifeline for the communities that have airports. Manufacturers, businesses, hospitals and ; other community cornerstone employers depend on air cargo to successfully operate. While there is no doubt that air ; cargo represents significant value to those employers, the ability to quantify the dollar value has been difficult to ; obtain. The goal of this project was to obtain enough raw data to analyze and develop supported conclusions ; regarding the economic value of air cargo activities. ; The Wisconsin Air Cargo Survey was the first step of the overall study and was staged in two phases by the ; University of Wisconsin Survey Center (UWSC). Phase 1 (preliminary research), yielded beneficial insight, but no ; quantifiable data related to air cargo activity in neighboring states. During phase 2, UWSC’s survey revealed that a ; large number of Wisconsin airport managers did not have and/or were not able to access some of the primary data ; that the survey was designed to collect. ; UWSC provided the raw data from both phases of their research. Analysis by WisDOT indicated that the primary ; study goal would not be met because the information WisDOT expected to collect was not available. There were ; many inconsistencies with the data and few substantive responses on a number of questions. Many of the survey ; answers were “best guess estimates” and it was apparent that there was a general lack of knowledge regarding many ; of the questions. Additional data gathering and analysis will be needed to determine the economic benefits of air ; cargo in Wisconsin.
