Airport finance,
finally in one place.

Every U.S. commercial airport publishes its finances, in a thousand different PDFs, on a thousand different websites, in a hundred different formats. AFID reads them all so you don't have to.

AFID is a financial terminal covering every U.S. commercial airport. It collects each airport's primary documents (the audited financial report, the published rate schedule, the signed airline use & lease agreement, the bond official statement, incentive programs, capital plans) and turns them into verified, comparable figures. Every number keeps its citation: the document it came from and the page it sits on.

Because airports price and report so differently, AFID also tags every airport's rate-setting methodology and reporting structure, and refuses to rank figures that aren't truly comparable. You get comparisons you can defend, not just numbers side by side.

01

Rates & Charges

Signatory landing fees, terminal rents by space type, and every itemized fee line, normalized to one taxonomy from each airport's own published schedule.

Rate Schedules · Fee Taxonomy
02

Audited Financials

Revenue composition, cost per enplanement, debt and liquidity from audited statements, with every figure tagged with its reporting scope and fiscal year.

ACFR · CAFR · Budget
03

Agreements & Debt

Rate methodology, terms, and revenue sharing read from executed agreements and bond disclosures, so comparisons are methodology-matched, never apples to oranges.

AUA · Bond OS · Incentives

Built for the people
who read airport finances.

One corpus, three seats at the table.

01

Bond desks & investors

Screen 500 airports by CPE, coverage, cushion, and methodology. Track use-agreement expirations and document refreshes. Cite the page, not the vibe.

Instead of: chasing ACFRs across county websites the week a deal prices.
02

Airports & authorities

See your rates, costs, and revenue mix against peers that actually share your deal structure. Benchmarking as a reasonableness check, done properly.

Instead of: a consultant study built on peers with a different business model.
03

Consultants & advisors

Walk into an engagement with the airport's financial profile, agreements, and peer context already assembled. The first weeks of document work, done and cited.

Instead of: rebuilding the same source library for every new client.

How we get it right.

Airport finance is airport-specific. That's not a reason to skip the comparison. It's the reason to do it properly.

01

Primary sources only

Every figure comes from the airport's own documents: audited statements, published schedules, signed agreements. Consultant estimates never enter the corpus.

02

Page-cited, always

Every number stores the document and page it was read from. Inside the terminal, clicking a figure shows you the source passage itself.

03

Never estimated

If a document doesn't disclose a figure, AFID says so and tells you why. A stated gap beats a fabricated number, and our comparisons refuse to mix deal structures that don't compare.

About AFID.

Independent by design.

AFID began with a simple observation: airport performance data is centralized, standardized, and everywhere, but airport financial data lives in scattered PDFs that only a handful of specialists ever read end to end. The analysts, airports, and advisors who depend on those documents deserve the same quality of infrastructure the rest of finance takes for granted.

So we built it: a corpus of every U.S. commercial airport's primary financial documents, an extraction discipline that preserves each airport's individuality instead of flattening it, and a terminal that makes the whole thing searchable, comparable, and citable. AFID is built and operated by an independent aviation analytics team. We sell the data terminal, and nothing else.

Our independence, in writing

No affiliation with any airline, airport, authority, or federal agency.
No consulting engagements with the entities we cover, so no incentive to flatter a number.
No paid placement. Coverage is determined by the FAA's commercial-service airport list, not by who subscribes.
Figures are never estimated or modeled. If it isn't in a primary document, it isn't in AFID.
