    FORT WAYNE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BUSINESS TRAVEL SURVEY RESULTS NOVEMBER 2013 Prepared by Mead & Hunt Page 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY n April of 2013, the Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority and Vision 2020, an initiative of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, co- Iconvened the Regional Air Service Committee (RASC) to involve regional leaders in the process of improving air service to Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA). During the committee’s first term, the RASC created and distributed a business travel survey to gain greater insight into the business traveler needs and attitudes at FWA. The information gleaned from this survey will help direct future activities of the RASC and give FWA insight into the priorities and experiences of local business travelers including travel habits, purchase processes and opportunities for new routes. The survey was distributed throughout the 10 counties in Northeast Indiana in addition to Kosciusko County. A total of 353 responses were received. Full results of the survey are included in this release, with important highlights and thought starters called out below: The top five domestic direct flights wanted out of FWA are New York City, Atlanta, Washington DC, Dallas/Fort Worth and Orlando. These routes point us to eastbound expansion, with high connectivity. Orlando, Dallas/Fort Worth and Atlanta have existing IRPORT direct flights out of FWA, so examining the possibility for increased frequencies could serve A travelers well. 40% of respondents originate their flights at other airports.

  • Final Report
    Transit Development Plan –Final Report CHAPTER ONE DEMOGRAPHICS The city of Fort Wayne has a population of 205,727 (Census 2000). The city is surrounded by two other regional settings – the Fort Wayne metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and Allen County. The Fort Wayne MSA has a population of 502,141 and the county has a population of 331,849. The MSA is comprised of 6 counties: Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Wells, and Whitley. Based on these population statistics, Allen County makes up more than half of the MSA’s total population. This chapter is divided into segments on population characteristics, commuting and employment statistics, major trip generators, and income profiles. Generally, many major employers and trip generators are located in downtown Fort Wayne and along the larger roadways radiating outward from downtown. Most residents of the region have vehicles available for commuting and other purposes. The employment rate in the city is less than the employment rate for the surrounding areas, but both are around 70%. The remaining 30% is made up of unemployed persons, students, homemaker, retirees, and others who do not work. A large number of people commute into Fort Wayne and into Allen County every day for work. The average commute time for residents of the county is not very long when compared to national averages. Most people who live in the county also work inside the county. The employment base in the region is primarily manufacturing and secondarily education, health, and social services. The difference in median household income between the surrounding areas and the city of Fort Wayne is great, but that same difference does not exist for per capita income.
