The Texas airport system is one of the largest in the country, and has 264 general aviation airports, like the Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport in Temple, throughout the state.
These general aviation airports may be small but they make a significant impact on the local and state economy. General aviation airports stimulate their surrounding local economies, provide jobs, service commercial airlines, and their transportation services support an assortment of local and national businesses.
Texas airports provide an estimated 778,955 jobs to the state and these workers generate about $94.3 billion in economic output, according a study from the Texas Department of Transportationâs Aviation Division.

AUBURN Upgrades will continue at the Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport after U.S. Sen. Susan Collins announced $1.6 million in federal funding this week.
The announcement was part of $11.4 million through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airport Improvement Program that will go to five Maine airports.
According to Bettyann Sheats, chairwoman of the airport’s board of directors, a majority of the funds will be used to reconstruct the “east ramp” on the Hotel Road side of the facility.
The section houses hangers used by LifeFlight and others. Sheats said the runway and parking area in that section of the airport are “in desperate need of being resurfaced.”
