I just purchased a $400 airline ticket. I was wondering how much of the ticket price goes directly to the Fargo Airport?
The airport currently has a $4.50 passenger facility charge on all tickets departing from Fargo. This fee is used to fund construction (runway/taxiway) projects, terminal improvements, equipment acquisition, repayment of bonds etc. In addition the airlines pays the airport on the average $3.70 per passenger for airport operational expenses (landing fees, terminal rent, airport fire department, etc). In total $8.20 from each passenger is paid to the airport. Currently the federal government charges a 7.5% tax on all airline tickets. This money is used to fund the Federal Aviation Administration which in turn funds 90% of most aviation projects at airports all over the entire United States.
