AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES <br />4.5.4.4 Charter Facility Alternatives <br />Three locations, shown in Figure 4-20, are identified as possible locations for siting charter facilities. Site <br />#1 retains facilities with the existing air cargo area. Site #2 places charter facilities where Lane Aviation <br />Academy currently resides. Site #3 sites charter facilities in the area where airport administration offices <br />currently exist. <br />FIGURE 4-20 <br />CHARTER FACILITY LOCATION ALTERNATIVES <br /> <br />Source: RS&H Analysis, 2017 <br />4.5.4.5 Charter Facility Alternatives Evaluation <br />Beyond the general evaluation criteria listed in Section 4.3, some specific considerations relating to <br />charter facilities were taken into consideration. These include the following considerations: <br />» Proximity to rental car, parking, and terminal facilities <br />» Availability of landside facilities (existing or future) able to accommodate multiple buses <br />» Available and/or adequacy of hardstands for large aircraft parking <br />» Ability to accommodate irregular operations <br />Site #1 provides significant cost savings by remaining in existing facilities instead of building new <br />infrastructure. Retaining this site also provides an operational benefit through the ability to avoid <br />interruption of services necessitated during a relocation. The current configuration of the apron can also <br />already accommodate the majority of the aircraft charter fleet. Site #1 already allows aircraft relatively <br />short taxi times to/from the primary runway, especially then departing from Runway 34L or landing on <br />Runway 16R. Unfortunately, apron space is impacted by Taxiway L and Taxiway J which serve the <br />cargo/charter apron area.
