PRESENTATIONS: A. LandDesign: The Director informed the Board that staff has been working with LandDesign over the past few months to plan for the development of the airport’s non- aeronautical property in order to increase revenue to help support the aviation system. The Director further stated that staff would use the plan as a guide for future development if the Board was satisfied with the plan created by LandDesign. Adam McGuire and Rhett Crocker with LandDesign delivered a high-level presentation which identified the non-aeronautical parcels LandDesign was tasked to research. Mr. McGuire stated that due to constraints such as the flood plain and steep slope topography, far less of the approximate 400 acres would be considered developable. Mr. McGuire also stated that as part of their process in preparing the plan, input from several different stakeholder groups was received. Mr. McGuire gave an overview for each parcel of land as well as the type of zoning and potential options for use for each of the areas. Mr. McGuire was asked what the overall feeling was for development of these areas and Mr. McGuire responded that the stakeholders were very supportive of the idea of development of these areas. A brief discussion took place that included timeline for development of some of the areas, being good partners with local economic development groups on future growth, as well as a thoughtful approach and preservation of some of the surrounding views. The Board thanked Mr. McGuire and Mr. Crocker for their presentation.

  • Chapter 2 – Aviation Demand Forecast
    CHAPTER 2 AVIATION FORECASTS Oscoda – Wurtsmith Airport Authority Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport Master Plan CHAPTER 2 AVIATION FORECAST Aviation forecasts are time-based projections offering a reasonable expectation of future Oscoda- Wurtsmith Airport activity during the 20-year planning period (2010-2030). Forecasts influence virtually all phases of the planning process, as the relationship between activity and projected demand indicates the type, extent, and timing of Airport improvements for various triggers of Airport infrastructure, equipment and service needs. Primarily, the forecast of aircraft activity is used to quantify the Airport’s operational peaking and capacity characteristics, determine the sizing and space allocation for structures and site development, and form the basis to evaluate the feasibility of various development options. Overall, the forecast predictions attempt to account for factors at Oscoda which could likely influence projections in some significant or substantial way; whether an occurrence of past trends or an assumption of future expectations. As indicated in Chapter 1, the FAA Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) combined with the forecasts developed for the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations continues to support the Boeing 747 heavy widebody aircraft as the Airport’s most demanding, or critical aircraft, used for future facility planning and design purposes. The following forecast components are assessed in this chapter: Aircraft Operations – The number of aircraft landings and takeoffs conducted annually by local and itinerant traffic, including general aviation, commercial and military users. ‘Local’ operations are flights performed in the Airport traffic pattern vicinity, including proficiency training, instrument training and flights from nearby airports. ‘Itinerant’ operations are traffic arriving and departing from beyond the local vicinity.

Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia.

Worth Alliance, and Boeing Field/King Co. airports were among the leaders of the 14 cargo-focused hubs identified A surge in online buying for at-home delivery is fueling much of the growth Airports that are focal points for air freight integrators DHL, FedEx, and UPS and have more passenger traffic than cargo-focused hubs grew more slowly, yet at a still substantial 9.0% rate The rapid growth raises important social, economic, and environmental questions he emergence, evolution, and performance of specialized cargo airports have long been of T interest to investors and policymakers in the United States.1 This Chaddick Policy Brief reviews the recent growth of cargo-focused hub airports, i.e., airports that have significant roles in cargo movement while handling a low volume of passenger traffic.

The TSB has a mandate to advance safety in the marine, pipeline, rail, and aviation modes of transportation by: ! conducting independent investigations and, if necessary, public inquiries into transportation occurrences in order to make findings as to their causes and contributing factors; ! reporting publicly on its investigations and public inquiries and on the related findings; ! identifying safety deficiencies as evidenced by transportation occurrences; ! making recommendations designed to eliminate or reduce any such safety deficiencies; and ! conducting special studies and special investigations on transportation safety matters. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. INDEPENDENCE To encourage public confidence in transportation accident investigation, the investigating agency must be, and be seen to be, objective, independent and free from any conflicts of interest. The key feature of the TSB is its independence. It reports to Parliament through the President of the Queen`s Privy Council for Canada and is separate from other government agencies and departments. Its independence enables it to be fully objective in arriving at its conclusions and recommendations. Its continuing independence rests on its competence, openness, and integrity, together with the fairness of its processes. Visit the TSB site.
