Title: Planning the Metropolitan Airport System
Accession Number: 01055735
Record Type: Component
Abstract: In the past airport planning was carried out on a project-by-project basis. Problems of crowded skys and air safety in the rapidly expanding metropolitan areas let to the creation of systems planning and ground-to-air control of air traffic. Now problems of interurban transportation, the expansion of existing airports, the planning of new airports and conflicts between the airport and its neighbors have underscored the need for coordinating airport system planning with metropolitan planning programs. This paper suggests procedures for planning the metropolitan airport system. The objective is to integrate airport system planning with highway and mass transit planning within the context of a long-range comprehensive planning program. The short range development plan is composed of three elements, a. changes in scheduling, b. expansion of existing airports and c. the addition of new airports to the systems. This short range plan should be integrated with the longer range plan incorporating highway and mass transit development, local development and land use plans.
