The Importance of Aviation

Aviation is a vital link in the transportation system. It provides a gateway to the world. California, as the sixth largest economy in the world, needs to be globally competitive. Air cargo, consisting mainly of high-value, time-sensitive documents and goods, plays a significant role in the vitality of the state’s economy. In today’s international and technology-oriented economy, businesses use the speed and reliability of air service to achieve operating efficiency. California’s airports are critical for providing services such as business travel, tourism, emergency response, fire suppression, and law enforcement. Airports, airlines, and businesses that support airports provide direct and indirect jobs and income throughout the state. Aviation provides tangible and intangible benefits, such as quality of life and enhanced mobility.
