This report is one of three covering a two-year study of Southern California's 1995 air travel needs. Existing and planned air-carrier airports (Los Angeles International, Ontario, Burbank, John Wayne/Orange County, Long Beach, Palmdale, and Palm Springs) are restricted by policy constraints (except Palmdale) and cannot accommodate the air-travel demand forecast for 1995. Seven overall strategies (e.g., joint civilian/military use of an existing military facility, removal or revision of the policy constraints, a new air-carrier airport) are described. Alternative airport sites are evaluated for market attractiveness, noise impacts, airspace workability, financial feasibility, etc. The study produced over twenty findings--among which are strong public and political support of policy constraints--and recommendations, the chief ones being formation of a regional airport authority and development of a new airport in the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor area. The 1995 Recommended System of airports is evaluated on a systems level. Some issues discussed are policy constraints and remote check-in terminals.
