Preliminary ForecastPreliminary Forecast
• Based aircraft projected to increase from 612 in 2007 to 976 in 2030.• In 2007 approximately 90% of based aircraft are single engine piston.• Single engine aircraft piston are projected to comprise 80% of based aircraft by
2030.• In 2007 multi-engine piston and turboprop aircraft represent about 7.5% of based
aircraft.• By 2030, multi-engine piston and turboprop aircraft are forecasted to represent
nearly 17% of the based aircraft.• The remaining based aircraft are helicopters and small turbine jet powered aircraft.
• Operations are forecasted to increase from 93,000 in 2007 to 143,000.• Percentages of operations by aircraft type stay relatively constant through the
planning period.• Operations are primarily single engine piston aircraft.
