Rural Aviation
Survey Results of Aviation Activity at North Dakota Airports
North Dakota's rural air transportation system facilitates economic development by providing transportation, jobs and services to the local economy. Today's global economy is placing new demands on rural transportation systems in which the local airport is a key transportation link for many rural businesses. A survey was designed to determine the issues affecting North Dakota's rural aviation community. The survey elicited responses from airport managers on the broader concerns of aviation in the state.
Results of the survey suggest that airport managers are most concerned about maintaining profitability and continuing to receive financial support from the state and local agencies. They also indicated they would like to get assistance with acquiring funding and economic development.
