MassDOT Study: Economic Impact of Airports Growing
Economic activity generated from Massachusetts airports jumped 49 percent, while jobs increased 23 percent and payroll 19 percent, the study found.

Massachusetts’s 39 public-use airports in 2017 generated economic activity of $24.7 billion and supported more than 199,000 jobs with an approximately $7.2 billion payroll, according to a new study from the Massachusetts DOT (MassDOT). The study says these figures represent an increase of 49 percent, 23 percent, and 19 percent, respectively, over the results reported for 2014.
