A newly released economic study reveals that Texas’ McKinney National Airport (KTKI) has an economic impact of nearly $300 million annually. The report—produced by InterVistas Consulting for the city—showed a 41% increase from a similar study published in 2018, which at the time determined Dallas-area KTKI had a $212.7 million annual financial impact on the local community.

This latest report found the airport supports more than 1,500 jobs, generating $110 million in salaries paying well above both statewide and national averages. Of the wages for the airport's 420 direct jobs, they averaged $103,400 a year versus the state and national averages of $65,400 and $68,500, respectively.
