The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has launched a study to measure the economic value of Florida airports to their communities and to the state.  This study’s purpose is to collect information to help measure economic impacts of individual airports and the State’s airport system. An important part of this study involves surveying businesses with based aircraft. The information provided in this survey will be used to prepare this analysis as well as quantify how airports impact Florida’s economy.

To make this project successful, accurate data is needed in order to properly determine the economic impact of Florida’s aviation industry. The information that is provided on these surveys is the basis of this study. As such, your participation is greatly appreciated and crucial to the success of this study.
