The objective of the audit was to determine the validity of allegations that the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania (Sponsor), diverted airport revenues. Specifically, airport users alleged the Sponsor (i) sold Queen City Municipal Airport (airport) land without proper credit to the Airport Fund, (ii) overcharged the Airport Fund for services, (iii) allowed commercial businesses to use airport land without paying rental fees, (iv) deposited the fixed-based operator's rental payments into the General Fund, and (v) used airport land and facilities for non-aviation purposes without paying rental fees. In reviewing the allegations, we also evaluated Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) monitoring of the Sponsor to ensure airport generated revenues were used for capital improvements and operating expenses of the airport.
