WYOMING — The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) and the Wyoming Airports Coalition unveiled the results of the 2020 Aviation Economic Impact Study today, which is the first study done since 2013. Study results showed that in 2020 air service had a $2 billion impact on the annual economic activity in the state, employed nearly 22 thousand people, and contributed over $87 million in state and local tax revenues. In 2013, aviation generated $1.4 million in economic activity, employed 12,000 people, and contributed $55 million in tax revenues. Devon Brubaker, Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport Director said this $600 million increase in economic activity comes from a focus on direct impacts from airports such as annual employment, annual payroll, and annual spending.
