What is a master plan?
An airport master plan is a plan for development over the course of the next 20 years. Airport master plans include the following elements:
- A vision set forth by the airport owner and interested parties;
- An inventory of existing facilities, activity, and other areas of regional interest;
- Forecasts of airport activity including projected levels of passengers, aircraft operations;
- Demand/Capacity and Facility Requirements for airfield, terminal, roadway, parking, general aviation, cargo, other aviation-related uses, and non-aviation-related uses;
- Development and evaluation of alternatives that could provide the level of facilities needed to meet the projected demand;
- A recommended development plan based on the most favorable development option;
- An environmental overview identifying environmental issues and constraints that must be taken into consideration;
- A capital improvement program that projects capital costs and potential funding resources for implementation of the recommended airport improvements; and
- A public involvement program that allows interested parties an opportunity to express their concerns and obtain information for the master plan update process and status.
