The Port of Portland is committed to maintaining a quality general aviation program as a viable part of its aviation system. To do so, the Port's General Aviation airports must be financially self-sufficient. As part of the creation of new revenue sources, the Port began collection of a landing fee at Hillsboro, Troutdale and Portland International airports on general aviation aircraft used for commercial passenger or cargo operations and aircraft weighing 10,000 pounds or more.
