6. ECONOMIC IMPACTS BY AIRPORT

The economic impact analysis has demonstrated the significant contribution that New York State’s airports make to the economy. The airports act as economic catalysts, supporting direct as well as secondary employment, payroll, and output benefits. Further, as identified through this study’s surveys, businesses throughout the State rely on the availability of commercial service and general aviation airports. The following section presents the benefits that 76 of New York’s airports provide. Qualitative benefits provided by each airport are also noted. These 76 airports were identified for specific study, while the impact for remaining public and private use airports in New York State was estimated by grouping and extrapolating results. The remainder of the report is organized alphabetically with the commercial service airports first, followed by the general aviation airports.

Adirondack Regional Airport

Adirondack Regional Airport is a commercial service Airport serving the Saranac Lake region. Continental Connection (Commutair) provides service from the Airport to Albany and Plattsburgh, with one-stop service to Boston, MA, on a twice daily basis. In addition to commercial service, Adirondack Regional supports general aviation activity.

The Airport’s economic impact was measured through the use of two surveys: aircraft tenant and on-Airport business. Surveys of on-Airport employers revealed that 31 full and part-time jobs and over $3.3 million in expenditures are a direct result of on-Airport businesses, including Airport management employment and spending. It should be noted that the impact of all of these numbers is multiplied by successive rounds of spending within the local economy.

In addition to the employees of Continental Connection, the Airport supports employees of rental car companies, aircraft maintenance and fuel sales personnel, law enforcement and Airport management. The importance of the Airport to area commerce is underscored by its business clientele. Prominent corporate users of Adirondack Regional Airport include CitiCorp, Travelers, Harlan Crowe, Intelocken Financial Services, Pepsi, Pizza Hut, Turner Broadcasting, and others. The attraction of corporate and large charter aircraft is a natural market niche due to the long runway length and other amenities available at the Airport.

Genesee County Airport

Genesee County Airport is a general aviation airport in the Genesee Finger Lakes Region. Businesses on-site at the Airport currently provide service to an estimated one-half of the aircraft in the Rochester metropolitan area. This indicates a substantial use of the Airport for business use. A 1991 study of the economic impact at the Airport indicated that over 73 percent of general aviation operations are business-related and that in Genesee County, these companies represent over 3,000 employees and an estimated $75 million in payroll.

In 1998, the Genesee Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council prepared an economic impact analysis for Genesee County Airport based on data for 1997. Using the methodology prepared for the New York State Department of Transportation, data regarding expenditures for on- Airport services and off-site users were collected. For purposes of this study, the data were extrapolated to year 2000.
