While these GA airports often are actively used and play an important transportation role for the state, activity is low in comparison to the region's largest airport -- Newark-Liberty International Airport (EWR), which is owned by the Port Authority of NY & NJ. In the 12-month period ending June 2007, the Port Authority reported that EWR hosted 35.9 million passengers and managed 443,622 scheduled operations including 14,414 general aviation flights. Cargo handled, not including mail, amounted to 961,466 tons, making EWR the 7th largest in the U.S. in terms of air freight tonnage, and 15th in passenger traffic. 
Among the region's GA airports, Teterboro Airport is in a class by itself in terms of flight activity. Located in Bergen County, Teterboro, also owned by the Port Authority of NY & NJ, is a key reliever for non-commercial aircraft in the New York City metropolitan area, primarily corporate aircraft. It has a 100,000-pound operating weight restriction, precluding operations by many of the larger commercial and some corporate aircraft. Teterboro recorded more than 200,000 movements in 2006. It is a center for the emergency movement of donor organs, U.S. mail and packages, and for decreasing but still significant traffic in Federal Reserve Bank documents. 
The state’s other GA airports supplement the services at Newark-Liberty and Teterboro, providing a base for both business and personal travel.  As discussed below, new aircraft technology may enhance this role. Among the other uses of GA airports cited above (recreation, flight training, etc.), a potentially important - and often unappreciated - role involves their use in national or local emergencies. They are available for use by first responders for staging and delivery of medical and relief supplies. They also can serve as the bases for firefighting, including the use by “airtankers” in fighting forest and other large scale fires. Aerial fire suppression was crucial in fighting the wild fires in southern California last summer.

Economic Role & Trends
An economic impact study done in 2003 for the State Airport System Plan estimated that the state’s GA airports generated statewide employment totaling more than 18,000 full-time positions with an annual payroll of more than $625 million. The report also indicated, using broader definitions, that directly related employment involving aircraft, airport and heliport operations was as high as 70,000 jobs, with annual economic impacts of almost $14.0 billion.1
This economic role for GA airports has grown steadily in recent decades, despite the closure of a number of airports. Indeed, the number of GA airports has been halved since World War II. The last new public use airport was constructed in 1983; since then, 13 public use airports in the state have closed. The closures were the result of business decisions as well as the reality of rising real estate values in the state. Like many farmers in the New Jersey, some airport owners have received lucrative offers from housing and commercial developers for the wide expanses of land under their control. In addition, as the state's population has grown, airport owners have often faced community opposition to their operations and limits on their expansion plans.
