5.3 Demand/Capacity<br />
Analysis 3<br />
Aircraft movements at <strong>EIA</strong> experienced 24 per cent<br />
growth between 2005 and 2008. Annual itinerant<br />
and business aviation movements increased from<br />
104,612 to 124,068. In 2009, traffic declined by<br />
3.5 per cent as a result of the global economic<br />
downturn. However, traffic has started a slow<br />
recovery in 2010, and is expected to grow between<br />
seven to ten per cent per year over the next five<br />
years, followed by another two to 2.5 per cent<br />
per year of growth for the next 20 years. Aircraft<br />
movements are forecast to increase to between<br />
247,000 and 356,000 by 2035 as shown in Exhibit 5.6.<br />

In 2008, an analysis was conducted to determine<br />
the hourly runway throughput for the two-runway<br />
system. The two-runway scenario for simulation<br />
