Of the 24 additional flights, 20 would be Domestic LongDistance, 16 of which would be to the West Coast. The other four are additional flights to Las Vegas. For the purposes of the runway length utility analysis inChapter 3, Alternative Analysis the analysis evaluated the 16 West Coast flights (because service was already being provided to Las Vegas). A runway extensionwould provide more airlines the flexibility to use different aircraft in their fleets, thereby enhancing the likelihood that more than one airline and/or increased serviceby the existing airline would occur in the future.1 Actual operations, RIAC.2 Additional operations associated with additional non-stop service to Las Vegas and new non-stop service to West Coast destinations made possible due to theextension of Runway 5-23.3 Includes charter flights to Caribbean.4 Includes scheduled flights to London.5 Higher load factors are expected in 2025 compared to 2015.TotalBuildTable 5-4Enplaned-Deplaned Passenger 2010 FEIS No-Action, Incremental and Total Build AlternativeForecastsNo-Action Domestic Long Expanded International Incremental TotalAlternative Distance 2 Charter 3 Scheduled 4 Build Build2004 1 5,509,186 0 0 0 0 5,509,1862015 No-Action and Alternative B2 5,274,876 0 0 0 0 5,274,8762015 Alternative B4 5,274,876 548,187 124,100 93,440 765,727 5 6,040,6032020 5,844,797 549,689 124,440 93,696 767,825 5 6,612,6222025 6,519,307 614,395 124,100 93,440 831,935 5 7,351,2421 Actual passenger activity level, RIAC.2 Additional passengers made possible by additional non-stop service to Las Vegas and new non-stop service to West Coast destinations due to the extension ofRunway 5-23. Passengers would increase by 2025 with the same number of flights, or operations (see Table 5-3), due to anticipated increases in load factor.3 Includes passengers on charter flights to Caribbean.4 Includes passengers on scheduled flights to London.5 Higher load factors are expected in 2025 compared to 2015.5.1.4 Land Acquisition AssumptionsLand acquisitions (number of parcels, acreage, housing units, and businesses) were identified forthree categories for the Improvement Program:• Mandatory land acquisition, as defined by those areas that fall within the limits of disturbance forconstruction of Improvement Program elements;• Land acquisition for the project-related noise mitigation for homes exposed to noise levels at or aboveDNL 70 dB (with voluntary participation by residents); and• Land acquisition to clear the RPZ areas as recommended by the FAA (with voluntary participation by land owners).Chapter 5 - Environmental Consequences 5-6 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH05_Environmental_Cons_JUL_2011.doc
