DJ V Lawrence Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3742044.htmlI first assumed that airport expansions and maintenance were funded by local and state funds, but this story got me all confused. Also, when it's a sports arena, the taxpayer money usually came from hotel and car rental taxes. Where does Hobby and IAH get their funds?

The money comes from the FAA (which in turn comes from ticket taxes etc) and landing fees, user fees, and rental income generated at at the airports.
