The statutes governing airports were not expressly or impliedly repealed by the passage of the 1998 constitutional amendment to Neb. Const. art. VIII, sec. 2, or subsection (1)(a) of section 77-202. Airports owned and operated by municipalities are exempt from taxation. City of York v. York Cty. Bd. of Equal., 266 Neb. 297, 664 N.W.2d 445 (2003).
Declaration of public purpose does not determine whether operation of airport is in a governmental or in a proprietary capacity. Brasier v. Cribbett, 166 Neb. 145, 88 N.W.2d 235 (1958).
