  • Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook I
    Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook Final Report strategic transportation & tourism solutions Prepared by InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. June 17, 2008 June 17, 2008 Confidential Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook i Executive Summary InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. was retained by the Vancouver Island Economic Developers Association (VIEDA) to develop a Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook. Most airports in Canada and all but one of the airports in the study area are managed by independent authorities or by municipal councils of the communities they serve. These airports are free to participate in any market sector in which they see opportunity: as defined and sanctioned by their Board’s mission, vision and strategic plan for their community’s airport. Key factors that govern and shape decisions around market participation are: ■ Market opportunities in terms of underserved regions, low levels of service and the airport’s competitive positioning in that sector based on market analysis ■ The operational capability of the airport to participate in target markets ■ A business case that supports the investment to enter target markets The InterVISTAS’ approach and methodology for this study was shaped by these considerations. The report assesses levels of service by defined regions and market sectors, identifies current levels of service, assesses airports’ capabilities in the region and recommends development subject to detailed business case analysis. Section 2 of the report presents an overview of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the seven major Regional Districts contained in the study area. The data shows significant forecast population growth for the Central Island Regional Districts of Nanaimo, Comox/Strathacona and the Cowichan Valley as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District (Gibsons/Sechelt).

  • 1 Vancouver 2010 Winter Games Aviation Planning
    VANCOUVER 2010 WINTER GAMES AVIATION PLANNING COMMUNIQUE #6 FEBRUARY 2009 FEDERAL PLANNING CONTINUES February 23, 2009 - Since the last Communiqué (November 2008), federal aviation planners have continued to focus efforts on finalizing the rules and security enhancements which will provide for entry and exit procedures into the Olympic Control Area. The key events which have taken place over the past several months will be elaborated on in this communiqué. CONSULTATION PROCESS AND COMMUNIQUES There has been some confusion as to the consultation process and how it relates to the members of the 2010 Aviation Committee and their respective memberships. The process has been developed within the Federal Aviation Steering Committee over the past two years. The advanced consultation for an event such as the Olympics, is unprecedented in Canadian aviation history, and involves discussion of all concerns, objections and requests at the technical planning level and amending rules where applicable. Although not every suggestion or recommendation is adopted, all are thoroughly discussed. When finalization on planning is reached, the decisions are reported back to the 2010 Aviation Committee and then captured in the subsequent Communiqué. The Communiqués are intended to capture the spirit of the presentations to the 2010 Aviation Committee but were never meant to be interpreted word for word. This process will continue to be refined over the upcoming year. OLYMPIC CONTROL AREA (OCA) The overall design and concept of the OCA has not significantly changed during the planning phase from November to present. However, after discussions with NAV CANADA, it was determined that the Sea to Sky corridor is actually a transitional route for some types of aircraft and that the cap of 18, 000’ MSL is too high.
