Over next 20 years, U.S. population and economic growth is expected to be strongly focused in 15 metropolitan areas. These regions will shape the need for air transportation. We will need a long-term strategy to prepare to meet this future demand. Within these 15 metro areas FAA must: promote regional planning; monitor aviation infrastructure investment; and identify additional airports with potential to accommodate future demand. The 15 metro areas were identified in the second version of the “Capacity Needs of the National Airspace System” report.
