    Airport Financial Forecast & SAMP Impacts: Commission Briefing

    A May 2018 Port of Seattle Commission briefing assessed the financial impact of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) on Sea-Tac Airport, finding that adding SAMP projects could push airline cost-per-enplaned-passenger (CPE) to an infeasible $36 by 2027. To keep costs within an acceptable range of $25–$30, the Port identified the need to increase non-aeronautical revenues, control operating and maintenance expenses, and reduce projected capital spending. The briefing concluded that SAMP is financially achievable, but only with vigilant cost management.

The update covered planning progress, including completed steps such as FAA-approved market demand analysis and two rounds of public open houses, with a third open house planned for May 30. Three conceptual alternatives for a second terminal and roadway configuration were introduced, all requiring further study to assess feasibility, cost, and operational efficiency.

    This 2018 technical memorandum prepared by Leigh Fisher for the Port of Seattle provides an environmental overview of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of its Sustainable Airport Master Plan.

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
