Are airports really at risk?

Yes, says the Pennsylvania-based Business Travel Coalition, which claims 150 airports will lose all air service if oil prices stay in the $130-a-barrel range ("BTC Warns Congress About Airline Industry Failure").

The coalition says 100 cities have already lost air service.

Is your airport on the list?

Is this just a lobbying ploy?

U.S. airports are taking strong exception to the coalition's report, saying it's a scare tactic.

Can you or I really do something about this issue?


What is the reality?
