**AIRPORTS AND METRO AREAS THAT WILL NEED ADDITIONAL CAPACITY**

**After Planned Improvements (With)**

- 6 airports that need additional capacity in 2015

- 4 metro areas that need additional capacity in 2015

*By adding the additional capacity gained from the planned improvements expected by 2015 to the 2007 capacity and measuring this against the forecast demand for 2015, the FACT 2 analysis identified six airports and four metropolitan areas that will need additional capacity beyond what is already planned *

*Measuring the 2007 capacity against the forecast demand for the 2015 mid-term planning period reveals that 18 airports and seven metropolitan areas will need additional capacity if the existing airfield configurations remain constant without any capacity enhancements. *

**If Planned Improvements Do Not Occur (Without)**

- An Analysis of Airport and Metropolitan Area Demand and Operational Capacity in the Future

**Future Airport Capacity Task (FACT 2)**

**May 2007**

**2025**

**After Planned Improvements (With)**

- 14 airports that need additional capacity in 2025

- 8 metro areas that need additional capacity in 2025

**If Planned Improvements Do Not Occur (Without)**

- 27 airports that need additional capacity in 2025

- 15 metro areas that need additional capacity in 2025

*After including the additional capacity gained from the planned improvements expected by 2025 (including assumed NextGen concepts) and measuring this against the forecast demand for 2025, the FACT 2 analysis  identified 14 airports and eight metropolitan areas that will need capacity improvements in additional to what is currently planned). *_*This analysis shows why additional solutions such as new runways, regional emphasis, congestion management, multi-modal planning, and NextGen are so important.*_

*Measuring the 2007 capacity against the forecast demand for the 2025 mid-term planning period reveals that 27 airports and 15 metropolitan areas will need additional capacity if the existing airfield configurations remain constant without any capacity enhancements. *_*This analysis underscores the importance of implementing the current planned improvements in order to reduce capacity shortfalls in the future. *_
