  • A Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of Alberta
    i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ECONOMIC IMPACT This report documents the socio-economic impact of 12 airports located throughout the province; the airfields represent 4 ‘Tiers’ of airports differentiated on the basis of aviation activity and on-site users. In total, some 275 on-airport firms were canvassed with a 98 percent success rate for the data fields sought. The economic impact of the survey airports has been measured by employment (in terms of full-time equivalents (FTEs)), labour income, and value-added Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Direct, indirect and induced forms of activity have been considered for calendar year 2003. The airports reviewed were: Tier I Tier II Tier III Tier IV North Peace River High Level Manning La Crete Central Red Deer Lloydminster Drumheller Bashaw South Lethbridge High River Taber Coutts All Tier I airports provide significant economic benefits to the communities they serve - in effect, they are local ‘economic engines’. In 2003 on average, each Tier I airport provided roughly 300 direct FTEs, a labour income of nearly $15 million, and a total impact of over $45 million. All Tier I airports operate in a deficit circumstance for their annual operating and maintenance budgets: on average local municipalities were contributing some $77,000 p.a. None have the financial resources to fund their capital funding requirements over the next 10 years. All Tier II airports provide significant economic benefits to the communities they serve. In 2003 on average, each Tier II airport provided roughly 30 direct FTEs, a labour income of nearly $2 million, and a total impact of over $7 million.
