Private Aviation Airports and FBOs

Updated

The United States has roughly 5,000 public-use airports, but private aviation traffic concentrates at 50 fields — 15 to 20 high-volume Tier-1 airports near major business markets and a long tail of Tier-2 airports serving mountain destinations, leisure markets, and secondary metros. The airport you fly into shapes everything that follows: runway length, customs, FBO inventory, noise restrictions, and slot availability all change by an order of magnitude across these fields.
