As a result of this forecasted growth, the initial Portland International Airport (PDX) Capacity Enhancement Plan was completed in 1996 to identify and evaluate alternative means to enhance existing airport and airspace capacity. The current design team was formed in 1999 to provide an updated capacity study to assess the technical merits of potential airfield expansion as presented in the Portland Master Plan update of September 2000 (Figure 1). The PDX Capacity Team identified and assessed various alternatives that, if implemented, would increase PDXs capacity, improve operational efficiency, and reduce aircraft delays. This technical study identifies the operational benefits or delay-related cost savings of capacity enhancement alternatives.
