Abstract:To examine and quantify the benefits of the entire aviation system to California, the California
Department of Transportation (Department) Division of Aeronautics retained Economics Research
Associates (ERA) in association with JD Franz Research, Incorporated. This report, prepared by ERA
with assistance from JD Franz and Aeronautics staff, verifies the importance of aviation in this state
by describing the state’s system of public use airports and commercial space industry, reviewing the
most significant recent trends in aviation, providing an estimate of the overall impact of aviation on
the state’s economy, and reviewing the many ways aviation contributes to life in California.
California has 250 public use airports that range from limited use landing strips to international gate-ways like Los Angeles International (LAX) and San Francisco International (SFO). These airports are
categorized as commercial (scheduled passenger) service or general aviation airports. The state’s 29
commercial service airports are further divided into large hubs, medium hubs, small hubs and
nonhubs, and the 221 general aviation airports are classified as metropolitan, regional, community,
or limited use.
