Welcome

The Washington Department of Transportation (WDOT) Aviation Division is excited to announce that we are updating the Washington Aviation Economic Impact Study (AEIS). This update will calculate the economic impacts that aviation provides throughout the state and summarize the unique and diverse ways airports contribute to Washington. To make this project a success, accurate data is needed to assess the economic impacts of Washington's aviation industry.

Please complete this survey if you are a fixed base operator (FBO) at a Washington airport. Separate surveys have been developed for other types of airport business users. If you:
To quickly complete the survey, please have the FBO's most recent employee and expenditure information available, including information on payroll, real estate taxes (if applicable), and capital improvements. You will also be asked to provide information on 2018 airport operations. Airport managers have also been asked to provide this information, and data gathered here will be used for comparison purposes.

All data collected will be presented in the aggregate with no response-specific details included in the final report. Data will only be used for the purposes of this study and will be destroyed upon project completion. Responses should be based on estimated 2018 calendar year data.
