RUNWAY EXTENSION INITIATIVE AT FT. LAUDERDALE‐HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTISMAEL IZZY BONILLADEPUTY DIRECTOR BROWARD COUNTYAVIATION AUTHORITYAIRPORT WITH NO RUNWAYS IS A MALL

Runway Business Case• Insufficient airfield capacity* to accommodate demand– Demand dictated a new runway in 2004• FLL is essentially a one commercial runway airport– 30 large hub airports in US– FLL is one of only 2 large hub airports that have 1runway• The Runway Et Extension will increase capacity from310,000 to 445,000 operations per year* Capacity is measured as the point at which the average departure isdelayed by 6 minutes. Estimated $50.00 00 per minute costs to airlines5Runway Business Case‣The key driver of the Runway 9R/27L expansion project is thatFLL does not currently have adequate runway capacity to meetthe number and mix of aircraft operations forecast for theAirport without delays reaching unacceptable levels. Runway9L/27R (North Runway) is the only runway that can handle largeair carrier aircraft such as the A320 and Boeing 767 withoutweight and size restrictions.‣The existing parallel runway, Runway 9R/27L, canaccommodate only limited types of commuter jet and generalaviation aircraft due to insufficient runway length, width, andinadequate separation from its taxiway.

‣ While Runway 13/31 provides sufficient length and widthto accommodate a portion of the aviation fleet, its use islimited because of its length, crosswind orientation andintersection with the parallel runways.‣The operational ldl delay caused by this deficiency dfii willincrease because the number of large air carrier aircraftoperating at FLL is forecast to increase through h the forecastperiod (FY2030). The primary runway, Runway 9L/27R, at itsexisting length and width, can accommodate all aircrafttypes currently operating, and forecast to operate, at FLL.Enplanements & Operations 1995-2020Source: 2008 Terminal Area Forecast16.000.000450.00014.000.000400.00000012.000.00010.000.000310,000000 operations350.000300.000ents250.000ionsEnplanem8.000.0006.000.000200.000150.000Operat4.000.000100.0002.000.00050.000-19951996199719981999200020012002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014201520162017201820192020-EnplanementsOperations8

Typical Cruise Season Scenes11THE PROCESS‣ Airports that plan to build runways must comply pywithwhat can become a complex process involving threegeneral phases that often overlap:1. Planning2. Environmental Review3. Design and Construction

1. PLANNINGTHE PROCESS• Airports and local lofficials determine the type of developmentand estimated costs in both political and economic terms.• Establishing the purpose and need for the runway• Coordinating land use issues with Planning Boards• Preparing or updating Master Plans, Airspace Reviews, CostsBenefit Analyses• How will the Airport Sponsor fund the project?THE PROCESS2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW• Most Challenging hll Phase of the Process• FAA determination of the extent to which the proposedproject will affect the environment.• The FAA will make one of three determinations:a) The project will not directly affect the environment.b) Project has measurable impacts, but impacts will notexceed guidelines. (FONSI)c) Project has significant environmental impacts.

THE PROCESS3. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION• Project Engineering• Financing• Contracting• Land Acquisition• Site Preparation• Project Construction• Project Certification

Noise Mitigation Program• Noise mitigation program is estimated at $175 millionin the EIS/ROD.• Congress directs that approximately $1 billion be setaside annually for noise mitigation programsthroughout the US.– Funds are distributed on an 80% federal/20% localformula.• FLL has reserved $35 million to date in local PFC fundsdedicated to a noise mitigation program. This willfund a total program of $175 million.18
