The General Aviation Infrastructure Investment Coalition (GAIIC) represents FBOs that provide services to most of the airports across the country. The investment decision to inject private capital into these airports demands that existing commercial depreciation and amortization standards be recognized. Many airports understand that encouraging private sector investments in facilities, such as general aviation hangars, means offering terms that best enable FBOs to utilize tax advantages that off-airport commercial investors benefit from. However, many other airports do not sufficiently recognize the need to encourage investment in facilities and only offer short-term opportunities that constrict investment and a job-creation environment. The GAIIC was formed to develop ‘Best Practices’ standards with airports and FBOs to facilitate long term investment through existing commercial amortization and depreciation practices.
