Necessary and valiant efforts to contain the spread of the disease have acutely impacted the aviation industry and the world economy. Based on the impact of the COVID-19 on airport enplanements, the Authority is anticipating a decrease in activity in 2020, however, did should not detract from our 2019 results. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) estimates, in 2019 U.S. airlines carried more 925.5 million passengers, the highest total based on comparable records since 2003. Passenger traffic in 2019 increased 4.1%, 9.0%, and 12.3% from 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. These national results reflect the activity at the Albany International Airport as well. In 2019, the airport had a total of 1,518,969 enplanements, the highest total based on comparable records since 2005 and passenger traffic reached a new high for its seventh consecutive year. In 2020, we look forward to the completion of the five story 1,000 passenger garage, funded with a $22 million grant by Governor Cuomo, that will relieve the parking capacity issues of the recent years. In addition to the garage, the Authority also invested and implemented a new parking control system that automated the parking revenue collection process. Other 2019 projects included improvements in the terminal restrooms, flooring, wayfinding signage, escalators, concessions, and the public address system. The close of 2019 marked the completion of the fourth year of a the current five-year Airport Use and Lease Agreement and Common Cargo Carrier Airfield Use Agreement with

  • A Woeful Tale of an Airport Subsidy
    August 22, 2018 Policy Brief: Volume 18, Number 32 A Woeful Tale of an Airport Subsidy Summary: The Allegheny County Airport Authority transferred a lot of money to OneJet Inc. to have them move their “focus” airport to Pittsburgh from Indianapolis. Promises of services to 10 destinations were made in exchange for the $3 million of loans and investments. It has not worked out well. OneJet Inc. began its existence by incorporating in Larkspur, California. Its headquarters is in Massachusetts. Its hub (focus) of operations—if two destinations can be called a hub—is in Pittsburgh. After beginning serious operations in Indianapolis in 2015 with great fanfare about service to cities throughout the Midwest and Pittsburgh, the airline dumped Indianapolis as its base in 2016 and entered into a heavily subsidized agreement to move its operations base to Pittsburgh. OneJet promised flights to 10 destination cities from Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) in exchange for a $3 million “investment”. In October 2017, the airline received an unknown “investment” in Milwaukee to set up a secondary operations base. As of August 17, 2018, the airline operates to only five destinations— Hartford, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Albany and Buffalo. The Albany and Buffalo flights are only between those two New York cities. Two destinations remain for Pittsburgh—Hartford and Indianapolis. And flights from Hartford and Indianapolis are still in effect to each other and Pittsburgh. Note that, according to USA Today, Milwaukee business leaders made a significant investment in the airline last October. However, currently, Milwaukee is not a second focus airport and is not even a OneJet destination.
