facilities when compared to public general aviation hangars. It is important to note that an airport can surpass 100 percent of its storage capacity by increasing the number of aircraft stored in hangars that are already considered full. The number of existing and projected based aircraft for the reliever airports is compared with existing storage capacity in Table III 5. As shown, total existing storage ranges from 152 aircraft at Airlake to 548 aircraft at Flying Cloud Airport. Approximately 2,237 based aircraft can be accommodated by the system as a whole with existing storage. Two of the airports, Airlake and Anoka County-Blaine, have already reached 100 percent of their storage capacity. Storage demand at South St. Paul is currently at 95 of its capacity. Flying Cloud, St. Paul Downtown, and Lake . Elmo airports are at 89 percent, 85 percent, and 82 percent of their respective storage capacities. Crystal Airport currently has the greatest amount of available storage capacity, with approximately 73 percent of its storage in use. The reliever system as a whole is currently using approximately 88 percent of its available aircraft storage capacity. The unconstrained based aircraft projections developed for this study indicate that demand at South St. Paul Airport will also surpass 100 percent of existing available storage capacity by 1993. By 1998, demand at Lake Elmo Airport will reach 100 percent of available storage capacity. By 2003, Flying Cloud will reach 100 percent of its storage capacity. By the end of the planning period, demand for aircraft storage will have surpassed 100 percent of existing storage at six of the seven relievers. The reliever airport system will reach 100 percent of its available storage capaaty between 1998 and 2003. By 2008, demand for storage in the reliever system will be greater than 106 percent of its available storage capaaty.
