Regional Aviation Baseline Study: Working Paper 2 — Airport Needs Analysis

This June 2020 working paper, prepared by WSP for the Puget Sound Regional Council, analyzes the aviation needs of the greater Seattle-Tacoma region across commercial passenger service, air cargo, and general aviation. It evaluates current airport performance, benchmarks regional airports against comparable systems, and identifies infrastructure challenges and opportunities to meet future demand. The study assesses system-wide requirements and multimodal access needs to guide long-term regional aviation planning.
