The research addresses the need for public planners to be able to estimate the demand for scheduled commercial passenger service at small community airports. Data were collected describing the social, economic and geographic characteristics of 260 small communities in the contiguous 48 states that had at least 2,500 enplanements in 1985. Small communities were defined as those with service area populations of 200,000 or less. Descriptive data included population, income, labor force characteristics, community economic base, geographic location, departures, air fare per mile, driving distance to an alternative airport, and the attractiveness of an alternative airport. A methodology for selecting the most probable alternative airport when choices are present is included. Multiple regression models were specified with the data collected to estimate enplanements and enplanements per capita. The methodology and the models were tested and demonstrated using data for 51 small communities in the state of Texas that did not have air service.
