As shown, the TAF <br />is more aggressive, with operations projected to increase from 92,779 in 2006 to 112,632 in 2026. <br />Operations under the Alternative Methodology are projected to increase from 92,779 in 2006 to 102,179 <br />in 2026. The alternative methodology is recommended since it incorporates some additional data into the <br />analysis that relates to aircraft size changes that are highly probable. The preferred forecast assumes <br />that, with this assumption more people will be moved on fewer flights. <br />2-11 <br />Eugene Airport Master Plan Update <br />(February 2010) <br /> <br />
