Since the airlines don't really pay for ATC services (neither does GA),
this
little statistic should be treated as the worthless tidbit that it is.
The fuel tax assists in paying for ATC.


I haven't seen figures for several years now, but unless there've been some
significant changes, user fees cover about 85% of the cost of ATC. It'd be
more accurate to say the general fund assists in paying for ATC.
