Program: Airport Construction

Function

Each public-use airport sponsor is required to provide the Division of Aeronautics with an updated Capital Improvement Plan to bring its airport in compliance with current FAA standards. To assist airport sponsors the FAA and the Division of Aeronautics offer financial grants. Thirty-four of Utah's public use airports are eligible for both state and federal grants. The remaining twelve airports are eligible for state grants only. Projects requesting financial assistance are first prioritized and subjected to the Project Selection Process. The Division's Pavement Engineer and Aeronautical Planner provide oversight of state funded construction projects.

Program: Aid to Local Airports

Function

This program is responsible for disbursing aviation fuel tax to airports where fuel is sold. Revenue supporting the Division is from a per-gallon fuel tax imposed on all civil aviation fuel sold within the state. General aviation users are taxed at a rate of 9 cents per gallon and commercial airlines are taxed at 4 cents per gallon. Three cents per gallon is then returned to the airport where the fuel is sold for the maintenance, operations and improvement of that airport.
