2009-07-01Appendix A: Detailed table of the Washington State airports
This document is an appendix from Washington State's 2009 Aviation System Plan, listing detailed information about airports across the state. It catalogs each airport by site number, name, city, and service level classifications under both federal (NPIAS) and state systems, covering facilities ranging from major commercial airports like Seattle's Boeing Field to small rural seaplane bases. The table includes nearly 100 airports of varying types and service levels throughout Washington State. -
2009-07-01Recommendations of the Washington State Aviation Planning Council: Long-Term Air Transportation Study
The Washington State Aviation Planning Council's 2009 Long-Term Air Transportation Study (LATS) presents recommendations to Governor Gregoire on the future of Washington's aviation system, which had shrunk from 141 to 138 public-use airports with at least two more at risk of closing. The study warns that over the next decade, 12 airports will approach or exceed capacity limits, while land use encroachment and limited resources threaten the system's viability. Public outreach showed strong support for investing in advanced technology and safety improvements, and greater efficiency in existing airports rather than building new ones. -
2009-01-01Airport Governance and Ownership
This 2009 report from the National Academies examines how publicly-owned airports in the United States are governed and owned, covering the range of entities—from city governments to special airport authorities—that oversee the country's approximately 4,150 public-use airports. It analyzes the legal principles and state and federal laws that shape airport governance structures, and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of different models, including privatization. The findings are intended to help communities assess whether their current airport governance arrangements are working effectively or could benefit from change. -
