It does not include over 1,000 publicly owned public-use landing areas, privatelyowned public-use airports, and other civil landing areas not open to the general public. NPIAS airports account for almost all enplanements. In 2005, therewere approximately 16,500 non-NPIAS airports. See table 1-3 for more detail on airports.b Commercial service airports are defined as public airports receiving scheduled passenger service, and having at least 2,500 enplaned passengers per year.NOTESData are as <strong>of</strong> January 1 <strong>of</strong> each year. Runway pavement condition is classified by the FAA as follows:Good: All cracks and joints are sealed.Fair: Mild surface cracking, unsealed joints, and slab edge spalling.Poor: Large open cracks, surface and edge spalling, vegetation growing through cracks and joints.SOURCESCondition:1986, 1990: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Aviation Administration, National Plan <strong>of</strong> Integrated Airport Systems (Washington DC: 1991).1993: Ibid., National Plan <strong>of</strong> Integrated Airport Systems (Washington DC: 1995).1997, 1999-2011: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Aviation Administration, Office <strong>of</strong> Airport Planning and Programming, National PlanningDivision, personal communication, Dec. 22, 2009, Dec. 7, 2010, and Dec. 22, 2011.Total number <strong>of</strong> airports:Ibid., personal communication, Dec. 22, 2009, Dec. 7, 2010, and Dec. 22, 2011.
