The Springfield/Branson
National Airport is owned by the City of Springfield and managed through a eleven-member
administrative board. The Airport Board members are appointed by the City
Manager, with confirmation made by City Council.
The Airport Board brings the
talents of the citizenry and business community into City government. Acting
as an independent body, the board is responsible for the planning, development,
operation and maintenance of existing and future airport properties, and the
overall management and supervision of the airport staff and employees.
The
Board operates the airport as a self-supporting, enterprise function, without
tax revenue or general City funds. Daily operations are funded by revenues
generated from leases and contracts with the airlines, concession operators
and other businesses using airport facilities. Grants from the Federal Aviation
Administration are received on a matching basis for funding of certain airport
construction and improvement projects. Federal grant funds are derived from
federal taxes on airline tickets and aviation fuel.
