N. RFLiFVER SYSTEM i TERNATNE <br />Eight alternatives were developed to resolve existing and future deficiencies in the <br />region's reliever airport system. Each of these alternatives provides various methods to <br />resolve the two primary system deficiencies: aircraft storage and annual operational <br />capacity. Other factors that could influence the development of feasible alternatives for <br />improving the reliever airport system were also considered. <br />Initially, alternatives were examined in tenors of their potential ability to reduce <br />operational delay in the reliever airport system. In the next step of the analysis, alternatives <br />were evaluated based on the following criteria: <br />Ability to reduce operational delay <br />Implementation costs <br />Potential environmental impacts <br />Convenience for system users <br />Long-term flexibility <br />Implementation feasibility <br />In the final step of the alternatives analysis, a preferred system alternative was chosen using <br />a weighting and rating system for these criteria. <br />1.
