Simply a Great Thing for the<br />

<strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Smith</strong> Region<br />

The <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Smith</strong> region is taking off and the <strong>Fort</strong><br />

<strong>Smith</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> is both figuratively – and<br />

literally – a big part of it. The primary indicators<br />

for aviation demand are the number of passengers<br />

boarding aircraft (enplanements), the number of<br />

based aircraft, and the number of takeoffs and<br />

landings (operations). With steady economic growth<br />

anticipated in the region and affirmative steps by<br />

the airport to encourage aviation use at <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Smith</strong>,<br />

the projections are for an average annual increase in<br />

these indicators by 3.4% for enplanements, 3.3% for<br />

based aircraft and 1.5% for operations.<br />

A Valuable Business Resource<br />

• The most capable airport in the region for<br />

serving a diverse aviation demand<br />

• Convenient airline connections<br />

• Exemplary passenger facilities<br />

• Aircraft storage in conventional and T-hangars<br />

• Abundant land for both aviation and nonaviation<br />

related development<br />

• Aircraft fueling, maintenance, flight instruction and rental<br />
