Airspace Study: Sea-Tac International Airport and King County International Airport

This 1981 airspace study, prepared by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., examines how the shared use of airspace between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) and King County International Airport (Boeing Field) affects the capacity of both airports. The two-phase study analyzes projected congestion and delays through the year 2000 and evaluates operational and policy alternatives to reduce airspace conflicts. A public information program was also included to keep the community informed of the study's findings and implications.

Notes

Work program document by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. (dated 10/28/81) outlining the phase and task descriptions for the Sea-Tac/Boeing Field Airspace Study. The study, organized in two phases and nine major tasks, addresses airspace interactions between Sea-Tac International Airport and King County International Airport (Boeing Field), including impacts on airport capacity, congestion and delay from projected demand for forecast periods 1985, 1990, and 2000 (base year 1980), and evaluation of operational and policy-oriented alternatives to mitigate airspace conflicts. Includes public information program component.
