Airports fuel regional economies
Flying is more than just a faster way to get from point A to point B. It is all the points in between that create a profound economic impact across the region. Air service has long been a primary catalyst of the regional economy. Air passengers alone generate $2.6 billion annually in spending. Last year more than 6,000 people worked at the airport in a variety of roles, making sure that 230,000 flights take people where they want to go. San Diego International Airport moves more than 18 million passengers every year. This movement fuels $10 billion to the local economy in many ways. It keeps 115,000 people employed in jobs as diverse as transportation, tourism, construction, concessions, shipping security, food and freight. It all adds up. When you think about the wonder of flight, think about the wonder of its economic impact. Regional Economic Impact • Overall annual economic impact = $10 billion • Jobs supported in the region = 115,000 • On-airport jobs = 6,067 New Routes/Flights Grow the Visitor Industry: • One new domestic flight annually generates $8.7 million total visitor spending • One new international flight annually generates $27.2 million total visitor spending Annual Air Visitor Spending: • Overall passenger expenditures = $2.6 billion One of the top airports in the world According to Airports Council International, San Diego International Airport is one of the top five airports in the United States and the second best in the world of airports its size for customer service. Last year, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority added new nonstop flights to and from cities popular with both business and leisure travelers. These new destinations not only provide greater convenience for our region's residents, but also attract visitors who contribute significantly to the region's well-being. The resumption of international service to the United Kingdom through a multi-year undertaking to attract international carriers resulted with Zoom Airlines starting a twice weekly flight to London in June on this year. In addition to the convenience for those traveling internationally, the new service greatly benefits the regional visitor economy. The airport's efforts to secure more domestic and international routes not only benefit the traveling public, but have a profound impact on the regional economy as well. One daily nonstop wide-body flight to an international destination contributes more than $100 million per year in total economic impact. We are San Diego's airport: the gateway to the region The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority is committed to serving under the following principles: • The need to safely and efficiently meet the requirements of San Diego's traveling public, including residents, tourists and business visitors; • The need to support economic growth that can maximize employment opportunities and help ensure a higher quality of life for all San Diegans; • The need to support our export-oriented industries such as electronics, communications, life sciences, software and defense technology in national and international markets. San Diego International Airport is a major corporate citizen and committed community partner in San Diego County. On many levels and in many arenas, the airport strives to better the quality of life for its stakeholders. Our future is bright, and we will continue to invest in the prosperity of this rich and diverse region through air service development, outstanding customer service and collaborative community partnerships. |
