Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Military Airport Program (MAP), focusing on whether the: (1) Secretary of Transportation selected MAP airports in accordance with program goals; and (2) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has effectively allocated MAP funds to ensure that they are having their intended impact.
GAO found that: (1) 9 of the 12 MAP airports do not meet program goals of increasing system capacity and converting current or former military airports to joint or full civilian use; (2) FAA felt pressured to select the maximum number of military airports for conversion despite its confusion about what types of airports the program was intended to assist and lack of an inventory of potential candidates; (3) five MAP airports are not located in congested metropolitan areas and are unlikely to increase capacity; (4) nine airports are already operating as joint or civilian airports and many of them already have the facilities the program was designed to develop; and (5) FAA has allocated only 23 percent of MAP funding to conversion-related projects and is funding relatively low-priority projects at many airports that no longer have conversion needs.
