5 Motivatio mall ad regioal airports frequetly suffer from: limited traffic fixed ifrastructure requiremets isufficiet reveues to cover their costs ubsidize loss-makig airports 1. Direct subsidies from local or federal govermet 2. Cross-subsidizatio Questio: how should such airports be structured, maaged ad fiacially supported i order to survive? Page 5
