Airlines most definitely help fund airport construction and expansion. Money also comes from a variety of sources including passengers (ticket taxes, rolled into airfares), city governments, state governments, and in some cases, federal grants. The FAA does not fund airports in full; not even close.

One of the main reasons that I like the Vegas Maglev is that it looks increasingly likely that ARTIC, not Disneyland will be the terminus proposed. People on the Irvine leg of the CHSR could transfer here. And if the exact location is chosen wisely, those on the main line between LA and SD could transfer at Ontario airport.
The terminus was never going to be Disneyland. That was a myth created by Bobby Jindal in the GOP Fortress of Doom.
