FAA Regional Air Service Demand Study. Task B - Forecast of Passengers, Operations and Other Activities

摘要

The purpose of this report is to provide a passenger forecast for three airports. These airports are the Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE), Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), and Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN), which are located in or near Allentown, PA; Atlantic City, NJ; and Trenton, NJ, respectively. For purposes of this report, the airports are referred to as Lehigh Valley, Atlantic City, and Trenton. The forecasts of this study are part of an integrated projection of aviation demand covering portions of eastern Pennsylvania, south eastern New York, and New Jersey. The need for the study is created by the existing and expected congestion at the three commercial passenger airports operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ): John F. Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport. The forecasts for the three airports of this analysis will be used as input into the overall study to develop a rational basis for meeting aviation demand, and to improve overall regional economic conditions.
