1 NORTHERN ROCKIES REGIONAL AIRPORT Terminal Expansion ANALYSIS 31 st August 2012

2 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to analysis the current schedule of operations and assumptions within the 2010 Airport Business plan to develop a potential future schedule of activity (based upon NRAA approved growth expectations). From that future schedule an anticipated peak number of passengers within a given hour (PPHP) can be determined. The PPHP is then the basis for sizing of the future terminal to a defined planning year; in this case The Planning Year 2028 has been chosen to align the terminal expansion with the recently completed NRAA Long Term Strategic Plan (InterVistas 2010). Critical Planning Assumptions for 2028 Planning Year: Larger charter aircraft and scheduled traffic flows through the terminal building 80% load factor for all charter and scheduled operations Growth based upon medium forecast (2008) 2.2%/annum growth rate LOS C to be used for terminal planning Domestic operations only Pre-board screening planned within program The IATA Level of Service (LOS) recommendations have been used as a way to define terminal area allocations. Level of service C or better when considering facility capacities has been assigned as a baseline for assessment. The LOS definitions are noted below for NRAA reference: IATA Level of Service A - An excellent level of service; conditions of free flow; no delays and excellent levels of comfort; impact on queuing systems must be considered. B - High level of service. Conditions of stable flow; very few delays and high levels of comfort; C - Good level of service. Conditions of stable flow; acceptable delays and good levels of comfort; D - Adequate level of service. Conditions of unstable flow; acceptable delays for short periods of time and adequate levels of comfort; E - Inadequate level of service. Conditions of unstable flow, unacceptable delays and inadequate levels of comfort. F - Unacceptable level of service. Conditions of cross-flows, system breakdowns and unacceptable delays; an unacceptable level of comfort. Note: Any revision to the assumptions above will have an impact on the size requirements for the terminal building. 1

9 BUSY HOUR analysis of one week in June 2012 Fleet Mix a. The fleet mix at the Northern Rockies Regional Airport is characterized by a variety of passenger aircraft types ranging from piston aircraft to narrowbody twin-engine aircraft. CRJ B737 Narrowbody twin-engined jet seats CRJ Regional jet seats DO-328 Dash8 / DO328 Twin Turboprop aircraft seats b. The fleet mix during the existing busy hour identified is as follows: 1 x B Canadian North 112 seats 1 x CRJ-200 Air Canada Express 50 seats 1 x Dash8-100 Air Canada Express 37 seats 1 x Dornier 328 Central Mountain Air 30 seats B

10 Annual Passenger Movements SCHEDULE 2012/2028 Forecast Traffic Growth Combined Aggregate Growth Rate (CAGR) a. Passenger movements CAGR : 9.1% b. Aircraft movements CAGR : 5.0% 200, , ,000 pax/annum c. The lower CAGR on aircraft movements reflects the expected increased in the use of larger aircraft (including B737) at Fort Nelson airport.

11 Peak Hour Passengers SCHEDULE 2012/2028 Peak Hour a. Previous work conducted as part of the business case (2008) did not take account of the use of B737 size aircraft at the Fort Nelson Airport. b. Based on existing schedule (June 2012), the peak hour demand is driven by 1xB , 1xDornier 328, 1xCRJ-200 and 1xDH8-100 departing between 10am and 11am. Total seats One-Way Peak Passengers (Business Case 2008) One-Way Peak Passengers (2012 Airbiz) 253 c. Airbiz forecast peak hour passenger are based on 80% load factor. 200 d. Existing peak hour passenger demand is grown using the absolute growth in passengers between 2013 and 2028 (70 additional PPHP) which dampens the effect of the strong existing peak of the busy hour e. In practice, the growth in PPHP will be more incremental, directly resulting from new services or up-gauging of existing services during the busy hour. 100 PEAK PASSENGER HOUR DEMAND (PPHP) One Way Combined Year 10

14 TERMINAL PLAN 2028 Long Term Planning (current) 13

15 LONG TERM STRATEGIC PLANNING Apron - Recommendations Apron I Since the airport is currently handling traffic on a weekly basis and increased traffic from this aircraft type is expected, it is highly recommended that the apron be expanded to aid in apron traffic and parking management. More specifically, it is recommended that Apron I be expanded to the south by approximately 40 meters and to the southeast by 385 meters, totalling an area of 15,400m2. In addition, the closed area of Apron II would also need to be rehabilitated so that Taxiway B can be moved south to accommodate additional aircraft parking on Apron II. This would provide a safe manoeuvring area on Apron I should all aircraft parking spots be utilized at one time. Terminal Reserve Planning Principle: The apron, location of aircraft and passenger movements direct the location and configuration of the terminal. 14

19 TERMINAL PLAN 2028 Concept Option Development Based upon discussions the planning team will proceeded with concept development, using the planning information herein,. Three options were be developed for further discussions with the NRAA. The three adjoining sketches outline the three options: 1 Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Western Expansion Eastern Expansion Split Expansion NRAA provided a draft copy of their 2012 parking plan, which is to be taken into account when developing the terminal concepts. 2 3 Constraint: Transitional Zoning 18

20 TERMINAL PLAN 2028 Concept Option Development NEXT STEPS Architectural concepts will be developed for the preferred option: Option 1 Western Expansion Primary points of consideration for the preferred concept are: - Use of the current apron - Use of the existing roadway and parking - Alignment with draft parking plan - Terminal phasing planning - Ongoing use of the existing terminal - Consideration of transitional zoning constraints to the west 1 Constraint: Transitional Zoning 19
