Port Of Seattle Letter to Zone III Committee: Invitation to Join Sea-Tac/Boeing Field Airspace Study Advisory Committee

In October 1981, the Port of Seattle invited the Zone III Committee to join an Advisory Committee for the Sea-Tac International Airport and Boeing Field Airspace Study, which aimed to examine how shared airspace between the two airports affected capacity and congestion. Advisory Committee members would be expected to review study materials, monitor progress, and relay information between the study team and their organizations, meeting no more than eight times over 12 months. The first meeting was scheduled for November 5, 1981, at the Federal Aviation Administration Building at Boeing Field.
