Airport Economic Analysis

Periodically, the State of Delaware performs an analysis of airport data and updates the economic impact of its public use airports to Delaware’s economy. The economic impact analysis of Delaware airports provides stakeholders with evidence that their expenditures on local airports are having an impact on creating and retaining jobs.

Bobbie Geier, Delaware Department of Transportation

Helicopter Maintenance

The number and size of helicopters in the Delaware Valley continues to grow. Helicopter usage ranges from law enforcement to Emergency Medical Services, and from corporate to private use. All of these machines bring with them the need for qualified, authorized service centers that create excellent jobs.
