BACKGROUND AND INVENTORY CHAPTER 1 <br />1.4 Airport Role <br />The Federal Aviation Administration National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) identifies <br />over 3,300 airports significant to national air transportation, and eligible to receive grants. The 2007- <br />2011 NPIAS shows EUG as a Non-Hub, Commercial Service, Primary Airport. The basic Airport <br />service provider to the community is Commercial Service – Primary. A Non-Hub commercial service <br />airport accounts for less than 0.05 percent of total U.S. Passenger enplanements, but more than <br />10,000 annual enplanements. EUG has historically been a Small Hub airport, accounting for between <br />0.05 and 0.25 percent of total U.S. passenger enplanements, but in 2006 it qualifies as a Non-Hub. <br />Eugene is the second busiest airport in Oregon, behind Portland International Airport. <br />EUG’s service area includes Lane, Benton, Douglas, and Linn Counties. The service area is a <br />function of geography and access to EUG and other commercial service airports. It extends to an <br />approximate 60 miles radius from the Airport, a drive time of about one hour. The four counties <br />proximity to Interstate 5 provides relatively easy access to the Airport. <br />EUG is served by four airlines: US Airways Express, Delta Connection, Horizon Air and United <br />Express. Daily scheduled service typically includes 27 departures and 28 arrivals. Commercial <br />service aircraft include the Canadair Regional Jet -200 (50 seats), -700 (70-75 seats) and -900 (90 <br />seats); Dash 8 Q200 (37-39 seats) and Q400 (70-78 seats) turboprops; and Embraer 120 (30 seats) <br />Table 1-1 <br />turboprops. lists EUG’s top ten destinations based on Origin & Destination (O&D) <br />passenger traffic. Total O&D passenger numbers are equal to roughly double the passenger <br />enplanement numbers. <br />Table 1-1: <br />Following the events of September 11, <br />EUG Top 10 Domestic O&D Markets <br />2001, airline passenger traffic dropped <br />Rank DestinationO&D Passengers <br />dramatically nationwide.

The Airport’s capacity <br />was reduced by one-third, airlines increased ticket prices and, not surprising, passenger traffic <br />decreased. Beginning in 2004, the Airport’s airlines began adding back capacity and passenger <br />traffic climbed. <br />1-4 <br />Eugene Airport Master Plan Update <br />(February 2010) <br /> <br />
