They don't say or don't know that all of that is actually funded by
airline ticket taxes.
I didn't even know it until I actually looked it up.

I paid 157.50 in taxes on one round trip ticket to Oregon

And that's not a subsidy, eh?

Not at all that is a user fee that goes directly to the service I am
paying for.
I flew on a plane, I got services from the government and I paid for
them RIGHT THEN.
Just like buying a big mac from McDonalds. I give them ~$4, they give
me a sandwich.

Definition of SUBSIDY
a grant or gift of money:

The rail roads get tax money from people who have never even been on a
train., That is a subsidy.

Please look at table E-1.....
