As of January 2000, these included a 7.5 percent domestic ticket tax and a $2.50 per-person per-flight-segment fee for all flights, except to certain rural airports. A $12.00 international arrival tax and a $12.00 international departure tax (both adjusted for the annual rate of inflation, beginning January 1, 1999), a 6.25 percent tax on domestic air freight, a 4.3 cents-per-gallon domestic air fuel tax, and taxes on the fuel used in small planes and for non-commercial purposes ... fund the grant programs. These revenues are credited to the Aviation Trust Fund, created by Congress in 1970 to fund improvements to airports and the nation's air traffic control system. The FAA dispenses grants to airports out of the trust fund for projects under the Airport Improvement Program, which had total outlays of $1.6 billion in FY99.
