Privatizing U.S. Airports
America has a remarkable history of aviation innovation, but we need major policy reforms to ensure that our infrastructure remains at the leading edge in today’s global economy. In a new bulletin, Robert Poole and Chris Edwards argue that airports should be self-funded by revenues from passengers, airlines, concessions, and other sources. Federal subsidies should be phased out, say Poole and Edwards, and state and local governments should privatize their airports to improve efficiency, competitiveness, and passenger benefits.
