B. Providing a medium for the exchange of ideas, methods, information and experience between airport operators relative to airport operations. Also, providing advisory assistance and problem solving through the distribution of educational material. C. Enhancing public understanding of the value of aviation and airports to communities. D. Cooperating with all governmental agencies and their organizations for the betterment of aviation. E. Promoting safety in the development of airport facilities and operating procedures.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 87% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
