FAA Aviation Forecasts - Fiscal Years 1987-1998.
Abstract
This report contains the FAA's Fy 1987-98 forecasts of aviation activity at FAA facilities. These include airports with FAA control towers, air route traffic control centers, and flight service stations. Detailed forecasts were made for the four major users of the national aviation system: air carriers, air taxi/commuters, general aviation and the military. The forecasts were prepared to meet budget and planning needs of the constituent units of the FAA and to provide information that can be used by state and local authorities, by the aviation industry and the general public. The overall outlook for the forecast period is for strong economic growth, rising real fuel prices, and moderate inflation. Based upon these assumptions, aviation activity is forecast to increase by 1998 by 34 percent at towered airports (commuters, 58%; air carriers, 33%; general aviation, 33%; military, 0%); 34% at air route traffic control centers (commuters, 82%; air carriers, 31%; general aviation, 31%; military, 0%); and 22 percent in flight services performed. Hours flown by general aviation is forecast to increase 9% and helicopter hours flown, 50%. Scheduled domestic revenue passenger miles (RPMs) are forecast to increase 77%, with scheduled international RPM's forecast to increase by 80%. Regionals/commuters RPM's forecast to increase by 165%.
