The report outlines a statewide system of public use airports to accommodate the needs of air carriers and general aviation in South Carolina to the year 1980. A short-term plan to meet the demands to 1975 outlines immediate needs for upgrading 39 airports and removing general aviation from Charleston Municipal Air Force Base. The long term plan to 1980 would add several general aviation airports, relocate the North Myrtle Beach Airport and propose a regional airport in the Pee Dee area. Long range plans beyond 1985 recommend the addition of VSTOL airports as required. Emphasis was placed on the need for an integrated intermodal transportation system compatible with new types of aircraft, new modes of transportation and the ever changing location of industry. The future utilization of McIntire as a general aviation airport for Richland County and possible back-up air carrier facility for the Columbia Metropolitan Airport is discussed. Also such a facility could be considered, along with other east coast locations for accommodating international flights, after 1990. (Author)
