A county airport, designed to serve the needs of private aircraft owners, planned to cover its operating expenses in part by charging user fees to private aircraft using the airport. The airport was unable to pay its operating expenses because the revenue from user fees was lower that expected.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?

(A) Most of the country’s citizens live a convenient distance from one or another airport now offering commercial airline services.

(B) Private aircraft owners were unwilling to pay the user fees charged at the airport.

(C) The airport’s construction was financed exclusively by private funds.

(D) The airport’s operating expenses were greater than the revenues raised from sources other than the airport user fees for private planes.

(E) The number of owners of private aircraft who use the county’s airport facilities will not change appreciably in the future.

Irrelevant, its no tthe citizens who were supposed to pay for this

(B) Private aircraft owners were unwilling to pay the user fees charged at the airport.
There would not have been the expectations in the first place then
(C) The airport’s construction was financed exclusively by private funds.
Out of scope
(D) The airport’s operating expenses were greater than the revenues raised from sources other than the airport user fees for private planes.
Correct, the expenses were higher than other sources, if it were not they would not have had to rely on the user fees anyway.
(E) The number of owners of private aircraft who use the county’s airport facilities will not change appreciably in the future.
Out of scope

woulod go for D

-revenue to cover operating expenses derived from 1) user fees and 2) other sources.
- operating expenses not covered as revenue from user fees less than expected

=>other sources of revenue must have also fallen short of operating expenses otherwise operating expense would have been covered.
D must be true

B. unwillingness to pay user fees is out of scope. it is already given revenue from user fees was less than expected. why it was less is out of scope.
