GA share at most Commercial Service airports falls in which range?

• A. 10%-20%
• B. 0-5%
• C. 20-30%
• D. 30-40%

Answer: (A)

General aviation share at Commercial Service airports means the portion of total aircraft operations that come from non-scheduled, non-air-carrier activity—think private planes, business jets, flight schools, and other GA traffic—versus the bulk that comes from scheduled commercial carriers. At Commercial Service airports, the main activity is usually airline operations, so GA traffic makes up a minority of the total. That’s why the typical range falls in the 10-20% band. If GA were only 0-5%, it would imply almost no GA activity, which isn’t realistic given the presence of business aviation and private flights. Conversely, GA sharing 20-30% or 30-40% would be more characteristic of smaller general aviation airports than of larger Commercial Service airports with heavy carrier operations.
