  • Aviation Activity Forecasts
    SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON REGIONAL AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to provide reasonable projections of future activity that can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. The first draft of this chapter was prepared in January 2018. Following FAA review, several revisions have been made, including updated based aircraft and aircraft operations forecasts. The original forecasts are maintained as originally presented for reference. Overview and Purpose This chapter provides updated aviation activity forecasts for Southwest Washington Regional Airport (KLS) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2017-2037). The most recent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved aviation activity forecasts for KLS were developed for the 2007-2027 planning period in the 2011 Airport Master Plan update. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with the current and historic role of KLS as a regional general aviation airport, capable of accommodating a wide range of activity, including business class turboprops and jets. The well-documented shortage of public use airports in Southwest Washington with comparable capabilities, highlights the importance of recognizing the regional role of KLS in its current and long term planning. CHAPTER 3 - AVIATION ACTIVITY FORECASTS | DECEMBER 2020 | PAGE 3-1 SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON REGIONAL AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN The forecasts of activity are unconstrained and assume the City of Kelso will be able to make the facility improvements necessary to accommodate the anticipated demand, unless specifically noted. The City of Kelso will consider if any unconstrained demand will not or cannot be reasonably met through the evaluation of airport development alternatives later in the master plan.

  • Confidential Position Specification Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority
    CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT Confidential Position Specification Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority President & Chief Executive Officer March 2020 CONFIDENTIAL POSITION SPECIFICATION Position President & Chief Executive Officer Company Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority Location Reno, Nevada Reporting Relationship Reports to the Board of Trustees Website https://www.renoairport.com COMPANY BACKGROUND The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (“the Authority”, “RTAA”, or “the airport”) is the owner and operator of Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) and Reno-Stead Airport (RTS), a general aviation facility. The RTAA is an independent entity that is not part of any other unit of local government and does not use local property or sales tax revenue to fund its operation. The Authority is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees, operates as a business, and receives no local tax dollars. The Reno-Tahoe International Airport is a very important asset to the region, with the 4.4 million passengers going through the airport in 2019 (66th busiest in the United States), bringing $3.2 billion in economic impact to the region. The Authority employs approximately 280 direct airport staff and over 2,400 other staff work on airport premises for various tenants and other companies. RNO is located just five minutes from downtown Reno, therefore, it is literally and figuratively at the heart of the community and only 40 minutes from some of the finest ski resorts and outdoor recreation in the world. The airport makes the all-important first and last impression on passengers coming and going from the region. The Airport truly plays a vital role for the hotel casinos, ski resorts, golf courses, the University of Nevada, and a growing restaurant scene and high-tech business district.
