Administration (FAA) classifies airports according to the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The NPIAS categorizes individual airports into four categories including primary airport, commercial service airport, general aviation airport, and reliever airport.

Airports are extremely expensive in every respect imaginable. From the multi-million dollar runways to the multibillion dollar terminals, airports cost significantly more than most people might think; not to mention the hundreds of employees that demand wages.
