Based on the information the International Council of Air Shows has gathered through their Event Organizer Survey, they estimate that over 20 million spectators attend air shows throughout North America each year. WHO TYPICALLY ATTENDS AIR SHOWS? Air shows draw large numbers of demographically attractive spectators - a well-educated, affluent group of men, women and children of all ages. Close to 70 percent of the audience at an air show has had some college education. More than 54 percent of spectators report an income of $50,000 or more. The average spectator is just under 39 years of age, but more than 55 percent of spectators are between 30 and 50. ARE AIR SHOWS SAFE? Air shows offer a consistently and historically safe environment for millions of spectators each year. Since current rules were implemented nearly 50 years ago, there has not been a single spectator fatality at a North American show – an enviable safety record for any business.

    9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 15 1 M Overview and Trends The Transportation Research Board (TRB) study committee that pro- duced Winds of Change held its final meeting in the spring of 1991. The committee had reviewed the general experience of the U.S. airline in- dustry during the more than a dozen years since legislation ended gov- ernment economic regulation of entry, pricing, and ticket distribution in the domestic market.1 The committee examined issues ranging from passenger fares and service in small communities to aviation safety and the federal government’s performance in accommodating the escalating demands on air traffic control. At the time, it was still being debated whether airline deregulation was favorable to consumers. Once viewed as contrary to the public interest,2 the vigorous airline competition 1 The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was preceded by market-oriented administra- tive reforms adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) beginning in 1975. 2 Congress adopted the public utility form of regulation for the airline industry when it created CAB, partly out of concern that the small scale of the industry and number of willing entrants would lead to excessive competition and capacity, ultimately having neg- ative effects on service and perhaps leading to monopolies and having adverse effects on consumers in the end (Levine 1965; Meyer et al. 1959). 15 9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 16 16 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY spurred by deregulation now is commonly credited with generating large and lasting public benefits.

Northwest offers connecting service in these markets.

Date Raised: March 1999 Complaining Party: AccessAir Complained Against: Delta, Northwest, and TWA Description: AccessAir was a new entrant air carrier, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. In February 1999, AccessAir began service to New York–LaGuardia and Los Angeles from Des Moines, Iowa, and Moline/ Quad Cities/Peoria, Illinois. AccessAir offered direct service (nonstop or single-plane) between these points, while competitors generally offered connecting service. In the Des Moines/Moline–Los Angeles market, Ac- cessAir offered an introductory roundtrip fare of $198 during the first month of operation and then planned to raise the fare to $298 after March 5, 1999. AccessAir pointed out that its lowest fare of $298 was substantially below the major airlines’ normal 14- to 21-day advance pur- chase fares of $380 to $480 per roundtrip and was less than half of the major airlines’ normal 7-day advance purchase fare of $680.

  • Fy 2019-2023 Strategic Plan
    FY 2019-2023 STRATEGIC PLAN ATEGIC PLAN F Y 2019 - 2023 S T R A T E G I C P L A N Welcome to the Strategic Plan for the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA). This comprehensive five-year guide will help the airport staff from Reno-Tahoe International and Reno-Stead Airports navigate a well-planned course for success for our airports and community from 2019 to 2023. The Strategic Plan was developed at the perfect time. Passenger traffic is at its highest level in a decade. New businesses and residents are flocking to Reno-Tahoe. Reno was recently named one of the top ten small cities in America thanks to an infusion of hi-tech companies and 100,000 new residents in three years. With the RTAA in the final steps of the a 20- year Master Plan process, the authority’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT) team was able to incorporate extensive data, community/stakeholder input and projections from the Master Plan into the strategic planning process for a growing airport in a prospering region. Supported by this fresh data, and guided by respected consultants, the SLT engaged in a detailed SWOT analysis. Looking beyond its own perspectives, the SLT embarked on a highly inclusive outreach program that solicited outstanding feedback from the Board of Trustees, community leaders, millennials, all levels of airport staff, tenants, the Community Outreach Committee, Airport Noise Advisory Panel and the Users Committee. The result is an innovative, comprehensive Strategic Plan that blends the RTAA’s unique employee-empowered culture with state of the art research.

  • The Way We Were – 2000-2015
    The Way We Were – 2000-2015 2000 General - Letter received from City raising the monthly lease payment based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. - Summarized committees at EAA 14. They consisted of Budget & Finance, Promotion & Publicity, Newsletter, Program, Membership, Technical Support, Technical Library, Food Service, Social, Hospitality, Equipment & Furnishings. Directors headed most of these committees. - Each director was responsible for specific monthly program assignments. - Hangar Manager began handling both hangar rents and facility oversight. - A coat of asphalt sealer was applied to the ramps around the hangars. - Decided to close down the YE program due to lack of volunteers. No one would volunteer to help on the ramp to park planes and keep the kids from getting hit with a propeller. There had been escalating safety issues. But the last straw was when a pair of children ran in front of a taxiing board member (with 2 young children aboard). YAC program had to be shut down as well – no help to help transport kids. - Hangar bash cancelled due to lack of volunteers. One Saturday they didn’t have lunch because of lack of volunteers. - Fans were put up over the cooking area – a requirement of the Health Dept. - Officers/Assignments: President: Dayton Smith; Vice-President: Roger Trickett; Secretary: Joe Russo; Treasurer: Dennis Cullum/Jack Thomson; Newsletter Editor: Kerry Powell; Hangar Manager: Bill Moore; Young Eagles: Darrell Oge/Andy Silver Events - Some of the program topics: formless, composite aircraft, presentation by BFAP to update the Chapter on where it stands in relation to the proposal to develop Brown Field into a cargo port.
