Aviation Office
Pursuant to Section 332.007(2), FS, FDOT is responsible for preparing and updating an aviation and airport work program based on projects proposed by local airport sponsors. The airport work program identifies development projects and discretionary capacity improvement projects. To the maximum extent possible, this work program must remain consistent with the Florida Aviation System Plan (FASP) and any approved and applicable local government comprehensive plans. The program also includes any project involving funds administered by FDOT, but undertaken and implemented by the airport sponsor. The aviation program provides assistance to airports in the areas of access, economic enhancement, development, improvement and land acquisition in the way of matching funds. These matching funds assist local governments and airport authorities in planning, designing, purchasing, constructing and maintaining publicly owned public use aviation facilities.

Aviation program matching ratios are authorized in Section 332.007, FS and are summarized as follows:
