  • Idaho Air Services Study
    Idaho Air Passenger Demand Study Introduction Introduction to the Report Commercial airline service is very important to Idaho’s economy. Not only do businesses located in the State rely on the commercial airline industry to support day-to-day activities, but Idaho’s tourist industry is heavily reliant on commercial airline service. There is no national standard for what constitutes good or even acceptable airline service; such standards vary considerably by community. However, convenient access to the national air transportation system is a top priority for many businesses and tourists across the U.S. It is important that Idaho’s major population, business, and tourism centers have commercial airline service to meet their needs. All areas in Idaho have some inherent need or demand for commercial airline service. The volume of this demand is determined by factors such as population, employment, income, and tourism. Where each community’s demand for commercial airline service is actually served is a more complex equation. In the deregulated airline environment, it is not uncommon to find travelers who leave the market area of their local commercial service airport to drive two to three hours to a more distant, larger competing airport. The airport that travelers choose for their commercial airline trips is influenced by a myriad of factors. With the help of the Internet, which is rapidly becoming the number one method for airline ticket purchases, travelers can compare fares, airlines, and schedules among several competing airports. With airline deregulation, some travelers from smaller commercial airport markets around the U.S. have abandoned air travel from their local airport in favor of beginning their trips from larger, more distant airports.

  • IDA Currently Has 3 Scheduled Airli
    General Information on Airline Service Development at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA) IDA currently has 3 scheduled airlines (United, Delta and Allegiant) with Direct flights to Salt Lake City, Utah; Denver, Colorado; Las Vegas, Nevada; Phoenix/Mesa Arizona and seasonal summer service to Minneapolis-St. Paul, Oakland and Los Angeles California. In addition, Air Charter companies on the field offer direct flights to Boise and other destinations on demand. The airport is a landlord for the airlines and has very little say in where airlines fly, the ticket prices they charge or the level of customer service they may or may not provide. We do stay in close contact with all the airlines, attend their conferences and meet with their headquarter offices to offer suggestions and insight into our market and to market our airport and community in effort to attract new routes. We also partner with a very competent and successful air service development consultant to assist us in this effort. However, in the end Airlines make their decisions based on profitability and they are ultimately in control. Air service is directly tied to the economy and how many people are flying. Air service is also driven by the amount of utilization of existing flights and individual airline business models. All these factors combine to reflect a continuous volatile airline industry. After safety and security, Air Service Development is a high priority for the Airport. We strive to be responsive to the community travel needs in both business and leisure routes. Our mission is to first maintain our existing airlines and routes (in the recent economy, many regional airports have lost air service).

  • Updated Noise Exposure Maps & Noise Compatibility
    Boise Airport 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update Updated Noise Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility Program Prepared for: CITY OF BOISE Prepared by: HNTB Corporation CSHQA Wyle Laboratories Synergy Consulting JULY 2004 (EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ADDED SEPTEMBER 2006) Boise Airport - Part 150 Study Update Executive Summary The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the updated noise exposure maps and the noise compatibility program (NCP). The NCP is intended to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on people who live and work near Boise Airport. The Airport, owned and operated by the City of Boise, is the busiest air terminal in Idaho, serving 3.0 million passengers a year. In 2004, Boise Airport completed an update to its Part 150 aircraft noise and land use compatibility program. The two central elements of the Part 150 Study Update are: • Noise Exposure Maps, showing existing (2004) and forecast (2009) noise exposure levels due to aircraft operations at Boise Airport. • Noise Compatibility Program, or NCP, which including noise abatement, land use, and continuing program measures to improve aircraft noise and land use compatibility. The study presents current and future land uses in communities around the Airport and assesses the compatibility of that land use with the current and probable future noise levels. The study uses this assessment to formulate a realistic plan of land use and noise abatement measures, as outlined in the NCP, to reduce noise and its impact on people. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) accepted the Noise Exposure Maps in August 2005. Then in February 2006, the FAA approved many of the elements of the comprehensive Noise Compatibility Program, which consists of 30 measures that were approved in whole or in part.
