This presentation, delivered on February 25, 2026, introduces the fundamentals of aviation forecasting as part of the airport planning process. It outlines how planners forecast passenger demand, aircraft operations, and automobile traffic, then identify physical, operational, and level-of-service constraints before developing and evaluating alternatives. The material emphasizes that while predicting future demand is inherently uncertain, structured forecasting is a critical first step in guiding airport infrastructure decisions.

The Burien Airport Committee held its February 17, 2026 meeting to discuss airport-related policy matters, including legislative updates, Burien's decision not to participate in the Port of Seattle's StART Day in Olympia due to concerns that the shared legislative agenda did not accurately represent Burien's interests, and the status of the SAMP (Sustainable Airport Master Plan) appeal.
