U.S. Airport and Airway Trust Fund Update
Created by the Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970, the Airport and Airway Trust Fund provides funding for capital improvements to the U.S. airport and airways system. Its revenues are derived from aviationrelated excise taxes on passengers, cargo and fuel, providing the majority of funding for the Federal Aviation Administration. The Aircraft Electronics Association, along with nearly all general aviation associations and groups, strongly support the AATF to fund the nation’s aviation system. An alternative method proposed by the airlines and some industry groups is funded through a user-fee scheme. The AEA opposes this method. For more information about the AATF, visit www. faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/apl/aatf/. Current Status At the beginning of the 2012 fiscal year, the Trust Fund had a cash balance of $10.3 billion. The Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Public Debt prepares monthly income statements on Trust Fund revenues; these statements reflect monthly allocations of estimated excise tax payments to the Trust Fund. Updates on the income, activity and balances of the Trust Fund are available online at www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/ tfmp/airway/airway.htm. q
