As shown in these activities summaries, annual operations for the reliever <br />system have experienced steady growth for the historical period. Based <br />aircraft on the other hand, have remained relatively constant in the same <br />historic period. <br />6. SUMMARY <br />The inventory effort was conducted to identify existing conditions and <br />facilities provided by airports in the Regional System Reliever Airports Study area. <br />The inventory also identified current issues that affect development at the study <br />area airports. Exhibit I-14 provides an index of historic growth and a look at the <br />anticipated future growth of these airports. As shown, many of the airports have <br />experienced an increase in operations. recently. (However, many of the airport's <br />future growth outlook is less optimistic due to local issues such as access and <br />development potential. <br />(1) Minneanolis-St. Paul International Airport <br />MSP has recently completed a major parking expansion adjacent to the <br />Lindbergh Terminal building. An access improvement program is part of a <br />continuing effort to refine its facilities. Aircraft noise and land use <br />compatibility issues continue to be at the forefront, as a proposed extension to <br />Runway 4/22 may result in a shifting of noise impacts from one area to <br />another. An environmental assessment is currently being prepared for the <br />proposed runway extension. The two FBO's at MSP provide services for the <br />based and operational general aviation fleet. Aircraft storage and ramp <br />facilities are currently fully utilised and future development potential appears <br />to be minimal. MAC supports the decentralization of general aviation aircraft <br />in the region and the transfer of general aviation operations and based aircraft <br />from MSP to other general aviation airports in the region. <br />I-24 <br />
