All grants for GA airports are "pork."
If one looks up on faa.gov at who gets AIP funds, air carrier fields gets the bulk. Then look at what GA fields get other than mickey mouse grants, often safety items. The bigger GA fields are relievers, to help keep corporate aviation out of big airports, to prevent airline delays. So it's airlines and the passengers who benefit too. In fact, in our town, the Port Authority owns the big field and one reliever. They further extract the reliever's operating deficit, like $1.5 million bucks annually, out of the pockets of the air carriers, to keep the bizjets out of their hair and not soak the city taxpayers to subsidize bizjets.
