7 2.2 Existing Conditions Exhibit 2-3 depicts the Terminal B/C Redevelopment and Secure National Hall project sites. Structures located within the limits of the NNC project site include the Authority s Corporate Office Building (COB), Hangar 11, and Hangar 12 as well as surface parking associated with these facilities. Existing airline operational areas include 14 remote regional aircraft parking positions currently operated by American Airlines (formerly US Airways). The FAA defines a regional airline as one that provides service primarily via aircraft with 89 or fewer seats. 4 For the purposes of this analysis, regional aircraft are defined as short- to medium-haul aircraft that have a single aisle and typically are configured with no more than four abreast seating in the main cabin. Regional aircraft at DCA include, but are not limited to: Bombardier CRJ200, CRJ700, and CRJ900 series; Bombardier Dash 8 (turboprop); and Embraer ERJ 145, EMB170, and EMB175 series GATES 35 AND 35X To the east of the Authority s COB and Hangars 11 and 12, and to the north of Terminal B/C, is the American Airlines (AA) remote gate operation that comprises 14 hardstands (i.e., an off-gate aircraft parking area). Passengers waiting to board aircraft utilizing these 14 hardstands are currently served by a passenger holdroom area at Gate 35X on the apron level directly adjacent to a bus curb. The gate area is under-sized for its current use. This includes circulation corridors, holdrooms, airport support areas, and passenger amenities. When the apron level holdroom becomes congested, passengers also use the holdroom area at Gate 35 on the concourse level or congregate in the hallway of the North Pier of Terminal B/C. The volume of passengers in the holdroom areas at Gates 35 and 35X exceeds acceptable levels of service (LOS), as quantified using the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Airport Development Reference Manual (ADRM). The ADRM identifies specific guidelines based on square feet per passenger and general planning parameters, such as maximum size aircraft served by the holdroom. The ADRM identifies LOS categories as Over-Design, Optimum, and Suboptimum. 5 The existing holdroom area that serves both Gate 35 and Gate 35X is essentially a one-aircraft holding area. As a result, at any given time, a larger narrow-body aircraft could be using the passenger loading bridge at Gate 35, and up to 14 regional aircraft could be using the adjacent Gate 35X holding area at the apron level. Under this demand, the holdrooms would be categorized as Suboptimum from an IATA ADRM perspective. The undersized holdrooms also contribute to terminal congestion, result in confusion during multiple concurrent flight calls, and provide a poor overall passenger experience. 4 5 Federal Aviation Administration, FAA Aerospace Forecast, Fiscal Years , March International Air Transport Association, Airport Development Reference Manual 10th Edition, 3rd Release), August 2015, Section Purpose and Need [2-7]

11 2.2.2 HARDSTAND AND REMIAN OVERNIGHT PARKING POSITIONS The American Airlines hardstand area includes up to 14 regional aircraft passenger loading positions and two remain overnight (RON) parking positions. The location of the hardstands requires bus transport of passengers from/to the AA facilities in the North Pier. A bus pick-up/drop-off area for transport to and from the 14 remote regional aircraft parking positions is provided at Gate 35X. The RON positions are used for overnight or otherwise temporary parking and passenger loading does not occur from the two existing RON positions. Exhibit 2-4 illustrates a representative aircraft parking layout at the hardstand area as well as the bus route from the North Pier of Terminal B/C. Buses operating on the aircraft ramp add additional congestion to the ramp and exacerbate the inherent problems created when mixing aircraft and service vehicle traffic. To board and deplane, passengers must walk outside between the aircraft and the bus, as well as between the bus and the holdroom area. This is particularly inconvenient and can be unsafe in inclement weather without the benefit of a covered walkway. This adds to the passengers inconvenience and further impacts this part of the terminal s LOS SECURITY IN THE NATIONAL HALL Currently, there are three security screening checkpoints (SSCPs) located at the connection between the National Hall and each pier (see Exhibit 2-5). Airline passengers transferring between piers to connecting flights must either take a bus or exit the secure area of the arrival pier and clear security again at the SSCP of the departing pier. With most passengers desire to clear security as soon as possible, they pass through the National Hall and the SSCP expeditiously to wait for their flight at the departure gate. The inefficiency of this passenger flow increases the time to make a flight connection between piers, increases security lines, causes crowding in the pier holdrooms and hallways, and inconveniences passengers. The National Hall was designed for passengers to enjoy the numerous eating establishments, shop at the retail outlets, and relax in the open spaces; it is the only location with full-service restaurants in the airport. When passengers pass through the National Hall quickly to get through the SSCPs they are unable to take advantage of the amenities in National Hall. 2.3 Purpose and Need Statement THE PROBLEM (NEED) The need for both the proposed Terminal B/C redevelopment and Secure National Hall is to improve the overall existing passenger experience and safety at DCA. The passenger demand generated by the remote airline operation continues to result in poor LOS in the North Pier of Terminal B/C. The Terminal B/C redevelopment would provide a more efficient and safe regional aircraft operation, a higher LOS, and better quality of service to passengers currently utilizing the hardstand areas. Additionally, the proposed Secure National Hall would improve the movement of passengers through improving security, decrease Transportation Security Agency (TSA) staffing needs, eliminate busing operations, and enable connecting passengers between piers/concourses to transition in a more efficient, and customer friendly, environment. Having the National Hall post-security would enable passengers to spend more time in the National Hall before proceeding to the departure gate. This would reduce overcrowding in the pier holdrooms and hallways, and secondarily allow passengers time to utilize the amenities in the Secure National Hall. Purpose and Need [2-11]

17 The current operation involves bussing passengers from a holdroom area at Gate 35X that supports all 14 remote hardstand positions. Passengers are held in the Gate 35X holdroom area on the apron level and the Gate 35 holdroom area on the concourse level of the North Pier; neither area provides adequate space for the volume of passengers using these gates and, as a result, passengers are typically seen sitting and standing in the circulation corridor adjacent to Gate 35 waiting for their flight s departure. At flight departure time, gate calls are made in order to direct passengers to doors at the apron level that lead to a waiting bus. The bus then delivers the passengers to the appropriate remote commuter aircraft hardstand position, where the passengers must board the aircraft via a ramp/stairway. For the arriving passenger process, the bus picks up the passengers at the remote commuter aircraft hardstand position and then delivers the passengers to a door at Gate 35X, where they are directed upstairs for a connecting flight or to exit the pier. During each of the bus-to-aircraft or bus-to-gate transfers, the passengers could be exposed to inclement weather (wind, rain, snow, and ice). The overall LOS of passengers utilizing Gates 35 and 35X (hardstands) does not meet the Airport s core values of providing a safe, predictable, and enjoyable travel experience. Ideally, passengers would be able to walk to their gate holdroom area, which would be sized appropriately for the aircraft, and board using passenger loading bridges (PLBs). This is the standard mode of operation for all other gates at DCA and at most commercial airports in the United States. The current location of the SSCPs requires the TSA to staff three SSCP locations, discourages passengers from spending time in the National Hall, and causes overcrowding within the piers. Departing passengers typically want to clear security as soon as possible. With the SSCPs in their current locations, this prevents passengers from spending time in the National Hall and forces them to congregate on the piers, which creates congestion in the piers. Also, airline passengers transferring between piers to connecting flights must either take a bus between piers or exit the secure area of the arrival pier and clear security again at the SSCP of the departing pier, which increases congestion at the SSCPs and introduces additional time requirements for the travelling passengers. Over the last decade, the Airport has experienced an increase in connecting passengers, as shown in Table 2-1. Presently, American Airlines has the largest percentage of connecting passengers at 31 percent. Among all airlines, 22 percent of the passengers are connecting. The percentage of connecting passengers is expected to remain level at 22 percent in the future. The current SSCPs have an overall negative impact on departing and connecting passengers and require additional staffing by TSA. Purpose and Need [2-17]

19 2.3.2 THE AUTHORITY S SOLUTION (PURPOSE) Studies related to the redevelopment of the area north of Terminal B/C began in late 2011 and recommended a new NNC connected to Terminal B/C that would provide new contact gates in place of the existing regional hardstand aircraft positions. The contact gates would improve passenger safety and experience, as well as LOS, by facilitating the loading and unloading of aircraft using PLBs, similar to the existing operations at the Terminal B/C piers. In conjunction with NNC planning efforts, the Authority also focused study efforts on improving passenger flow among/between piers. This analysis advanced the conceptualization of secure terminals connected via a Secure National Hall. The Secure National Hall concept streamlines the movement of passengers through improved security, reduces the number of SSCPs/TSA staffing requirements, and provides connecting passengers secured, seamless flow between piers, as opposed to boarding a bus or exiting one secured pier to re-enter security in an adjacent pier within Terminal B/C and NNC. The Secure National Hall also improves the passenger experience by providing passengers the opportunity to spend more time in the National Hall post-security, which reduces overcrowding in the piers and allows passengers the opportunity to enjoy the views from the National Hall and to utilize the amenities found there. The preferred Secure National Hall concept includes new SSCPs constructed above the commercial and public vehicle arrivals level roadway and below the departures level roadway. The proposed north security checkpoint is positioned north of the north Metro pedestrian bridge so as not to require rebuilding of the Metro pedestrian bridge. The proposed south security checkpoint is positioned south of the south Metro pedestrian bridge so as not to require re-building of the Metro pedestrian bridge. Building on the analyses in these planning efforts, the Authority developed the proposed solution to the need for improved passenger convenience and more efficient security screening at DCA. New North Concourse: The NNC would replace the existing 14 regional aircraft hardstand positions with 14 contact gate positions at the NNC. The NNC would comprise a two to three-level structure, housing primarily holdrooms, public secure circulation and passenger amenities at the second/concourse level, airline operations space, airport spaces, and nonpublic secure circulation at the ground/apron level. If a third level is added, it would be similar in use to the existing concourses and could include an airline club room, meeting space, or restaurant concessions. Secure National Hall: The proposed Secure National Hall is intended to enable passengers to move more efficiently through improving security, decrease overcrowding in the piers, more efficiently handle TSAmandated passenger security screenings, provide interconnectivity between the existing and proposed piers of Terminal B/C, and eliminate an existing bussing operation between the center and north piers of Terminal B/C. The proposed Secure National Hall project would construct two new SSCPs over the commercial and public vehicle arrivals level roadway and below the departures level roadway (i.e., one north of the north Metro pedestrian bridge and the other south of the south Metro pedestrian bridge). The entire National Hall level of Terminal B/C would then be converted to a post-security secure area, allowing passengers to move freely between piers, without additional security screening requirements. Purpose and Need [2-19]

20 Related Improvements: In order to construct the NNC and Secure National Hall, the Authority s COB, Hangar 11, and Hangar 12 would be demolished and their associated functions would be relocated. The Central Utility Plant, airport security fence, and parking locations for aircraft that remain overnight would need to be modified. In the area of the Secure National Hall, concession areas would need to be modified or relocated. In order to accommodate aircraft pushbacks from the NNC, a new Taxiway N2 would be added. Taxiway S pavement, from Runway to Taxiway N, would be removed. The proposed solution described in this section, and the related improvements required to implement this solution, are referred to as the Proposed Action and are described in Section SUMMARY OF THE AUTHORITY S PURPOSE AND NEED The overall LOS for passengers utilizing Gates 35 and 35X does not meet the Airport s core values of providing a safe, predictable, and enjoyable travel experience. The volume of passengers in the holdroom areas at Gates 35 and 35X exceeds acceptable LOS and contributes to congestion, results in confusion during multiple concurrent flight calls, and provides a poor overall passenger experience. Passengers must board a bus at the gate, travel to the hardstand apron, and load aircraft via a ramp/stairway. Additionally, passengers could be exposed to inclement weather (wind, rain, snow, ice) when boarding/unboarding busses and aircraft, which increases the risk of an accident. With the current SSCPs at each pier, passengers are not able to fully utilize the National Hall, which causes overcrowding in the piers and requires additional TSA staffing. Additionally, connecting passengers transferring between piers must either take a bus or exit the secure area of the arrival pier and clear security again at the SSCP of the departing pier, which increases congestion at the SSCPs, introduces additional time requirements for the travelling passengers, and further degrades the passenger s experience. The Proposed Action would enhance passenger and airline operations by creating a safer and more convenient facility that provides a more equitable LOS for all gates, as well as convenient access between all gates for connecting passengers. 2.4 Proposed Action The Authority s Proposed Action includes the key elements described below. All construction would take place on Airport land. New North Concourse - replacement of 14 regional aircraft hardstand positions with 14 regional aircraft contact gates - relocation of utilities in the NNC project area - modifications to Gate 35 (concourse level) and Gate 35X (apron level) [2-20] Purpose and Need

21 Secure National Hall - construction of two new SSCPs over the commercial and public vehicle arrivals level roadways and below the departures level roadways at the National Hall level (i.e., one north of the north Metro pedestrian bridge, the other south of the south Metro pedestrian bridge) - construction of new vertical circulation passenger corridors - modification and relocation of concessions areas and support space - conversion of National Hall to a post-security secure area Other Elements - demolition of the Authority s COB and relocation of the Authority s employees to an offsite location or other Authority office facilities at DCA or Washington Dulles International Airport - demolition of Hangar 11 and relocation of tenants to renovated facilities in the South Hangar Line area and historic Terminal A at DCA - demolition and replacement of Hangar 12 with a similar facility in the same general area - modifications to the hydrant fueling system including fuel lines and pits - modifications to site utilities including relocation - modifications to the Central Utility Plant - modifications to the airport security fence - relocation of parking locations for aircraft that remain overnight at DCA - removal of existing Taxiway S pavement from Runway to Taxiway N - addition of new connector Taxiway N2 from Taxiway N to Runway Exhibits 2-6 and 2-7 illustrate the Proposed Action for the NNC and Secure National Hall, respectively.
