Aviation in Oregon Challenges
• Commercial Air Service in Oregon
6 commercial air service airports in 2015
Regional airlines cutting airports due to: Pilot requirements 1500 hours and increased crew rest requirements
Transition to larger regional aircraft (Minimum 70 passengers
Phase out of Essential Air Service subsidy
Must look at new model of Air service
• 55 Federally Funded Airports in Oregon ($ 297Million since 2009) Airports reducing scope of projects due to challenge of meeting grant match
Dependent on CONNECTOREGON
Entitlement Transfer Program
Statewide Capital Improvement Program (SCIP)
• Land Use – Airports outside of Urban Growth Boundary for a reason: noise and safety Limits ability to get Sewer and water
Which limits Fire suppression
Which limits expansion and development
Obstructions and encroachment
• Environmental issues Streaked Horned Lark and other critters – Add environmental costs and mitigation
Wetlands on airports restrict development
• Funding for infrastructure/capitol improvements – FAA only funds airside Capital Improvement projects
