AVIATION DEMAND FORECASTS <br />The preliminary 2016 TAF forecast for commercial operations correlates well with the 2016 TAF forecast of <br />total commercial passenger enplanements and current conditions, as total operations are forecasted to be <br />higher than the 2015 TAF suggested. As shown in Figure 2-16 and Table 2-13, the preliminary TAF <br />forecasts a greater increase in air carrier operations and an even further decrease of air taxi/commuter <br />operations as compared to the 2015 TAF. This also correlates with the current and projected trends. <br /> <br />FIGURE 2-16 <br />PRELIMINARY FAA 2016 TAF AND 2015 TAF OPERATIONS FORECAST COMPARISON <br />Sources: FAA 2015 TAF Report, Preliminary 2016 TAF data <br />TABLE 2-13 <br />PRELIMINARY FAA 2016 TAF AND 2015 TAF OPERATIONS FORECAST COMPARISON <br />Annual Commercial Passenger Operations <br />Forecast Year <br />2015 Air 2016 Air 2015 Air Taxi & 2016 Air Taxi & <br />2015 Total2016 Total <br />CarrierCarrierCommuterCommuter <br />20158,3488,3488,0998,09916,44716,447 <br />202011,11113,1405,9504,87017,06118,010 <br />202514,70015,1734,3254,48119,02519,654 <br />203516,69817,6404,8395,02421,53722,664 <br />Source: FAA 2015 TAF Report, Preliminary FAA 2016 TAF data <br /> <br />Overall, the preliminary FAA 2016 TAF data for total passenger enplanements and commercial operations <br />was found to accurately depict current trends at EUG, and is more reflective of expected future conditions <br />than the 2015 TAF. For this reason, the preliminary 2016 TAF data was carried forward in this master plan <br />as the forecast for commercial passenger aviation activity. <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 2-22 <br /> <br />
