Actual Forecast

16Federal AviationAdministration09 April 2008

Things to look for

• Congestion – will it be as bad as in 2007?• Environmental concerns will continue to be in

the forefront of aviation debates.• Strength of demand given high oil prices and a

slowing economy.• Success of on-demand air taxi operators and

use of VLJs.
