It is recognized that a substantial number of <br />local operations can also be considered as business related~ however, <br />the revenue generation potential of those operations is significantly <br />less than for itinerant operations. <br /> <br />(1) National averages for general aviation airports vary between 53 <br />and 75 percent. Typically, airports in the southwest will <br />average 55-65 percent. <br /> <br />1.12 <br />
