Apologies if someone else has already posted this:

Do the fees paid by the commercial airlines completely cover the
costs of building and operating airports and the air traffic
control system?

If not, then passengers are also subsidizing commercial
aviation.

For the most part, that is called fares.

How do fares cover the cost of building and operating the airports
and air traffic control system other than through fees that are
included in those fares?

Significants parts of the fares go to expenses like landing fees
and leases.

And do those "significant parts" cover the cost of building and
operating the airports and air traffic control system?
