Project Purpose

The EIA was initiated to evaluate the economic importance of Illinois’ airports and provide IDOT with the latest available information on the impact of the state’s aviation industry. The EIA is a tool to communicate the importance of Illinois’ airports to validate continued public investment. Direct and multiplier (indirect and induced) impacts were developed resulting in the total economic impacts for aviation in Illinois.
