Position Paper Topic:
Airport Capacity and Long-term Growth ??” SFO is a very land-constrained Airport located 14 miles south of downtown San Francisco in an unincorporated area of San Mateo County between U.S. Highway 101 and San Francisco Bay. The Airport has two sets of closely spaced parallel runways. In poor weather, the Airport’s capacity declines to approximately half of its good weather capacity.
The San Francisco Airport Commission does not currently plan to expand SFO’s airfield capacity given the financial cost and environmental considerations associated with new or reconfigured runways, which would require significant Bay fill and environmental mitigation. The Airport’s current approach to managing demand and making the most efficient use of its limited capacity is to (1) promote the use and development of regional airport capacity to better serve the Greater Bay Area’s air transportation needs, (2) evaluate and implement advanced aviation technology to increase airfield capacity during poor weather and (3) assess and implement demand management measures to encourage the use of larger aircraft and reduce airline scheduling in peak periods.
What ideas do you have for addressing the Airport and the region’s long-term aviation demands and capacity constraints at SFO?
Please answer the above question “what ideas do you have for addressing the Airport…….?” Please do not dilute the paper with a heavy amount of quotations, but give original ideas. This is a position paper. I will provide one resource. It does not have to be used in the paper, it is only provided as a guide. Please be sure to specifically address the SFO Airport and not airports in general.
