Which AIP fund is based on annual enplanements and aggregate landing weight of all cargo aircraft?

• A. Set-Aside
• B. Discretionary
• C. Federal Funding
• D. Apportionment

Answer: (D)

Apportionment is the AIP funding stream that distributes money to airports based on a statutory formula using annual enplanements and the aggregate landing weight of all cargo aircraft. This formula links funding to actual airport activity, ensuring airports with more passenger traffic and cargo activity receive a larger share. Set-Aside funds are reserved for specific purposes, Discretionary funds are awarded through a competitive process for projects outside the formula, and Federal Funding is not the term used for this activity-based distribution.
