ALTERNATIVE FUTURE SCENARIOS FOR THE NATIONAL AVIATION SYSTEM. VOLUME 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This study updated and expanded the five socioeconomic scenarios prepared for the FAA in the prior study similarly titled. These scenarios were revised to reflect changes in conditions since the original study and to incorporate new material that may better aid the FAA in policy analysis. Scenario sections on economics were greatly augmented to give substantive descriptions of the economic and financial processes, and a new sector on international conditions was added to each scenario. This volume contains an overview of study methods and results. Summaries are given of the five scenario narratives, and the chronology of key scenario events and the levels reached for major scenario variables are presented. (Author)
