  34. The Regional Jet and Airport Planning

  35. Presentation Outline Overview Air Service Considerations RJ Characteristics Effect on Airports Conclusions I 2 3 4 5

  36. 1 Overview Why should airport operators pay attention? • Significant increase since introduction in the early 90s • Strong passenger preference • New competitive weapon for airlines • RJs are creating new markets • Much more growth anticipated not just replacing turboprops • Many potential impacts on airports • Additional traffic and different peaking patterns • Airfield/airspace capacity • Terminal use and development • Noise abatement and mitigation • Emergency and security • Some facilities or development plans may be obsolete • Commuter terminals • Commuter runways

  37. 2 Air Service Considerations Regional Jet growth • RJs are replacing turboprops and creating new markets • RJ departures have increased 111% since 1995 • Turboprop departures have decreased 7% since 1995 • Mainline jet departures have increased 7% since 1995 • About 500 RJs in service today and about 2000 on order or option; fewer than 50 turboprops on order or option • RJs will represent about 75% of future regional aircraft deliveries • Growth has been primarily in hub-to-point service; less point-to-point service than expected (so far) • 92% of RJ departures on hub-to-point routes • Maximize connecting opportunities and markets served • Leverage/expand hub presence • Command fare premiums at hub airport • Avoid diversion of hub traffic • “Scope clauses” a limiting factor

  38. 2 Air Service Considerations Actual aircraft use - DFW 3% RJ departures

  39. 2 Air Service Considerations Actual aircraft use - ORD 10% RJ departures

  40. 2 Air Service Considerations Actual aircraft use - CVG 50% RJ departures

  41. 2 Air Service Considerations Example: Growth of Regional Jet service in Grand Rapids

  42. 2 Air Service Considerations Example: Evolution of Regional Jet service in Grand Rapids 4,600 15,300 Non-stop destinations served with RJs

  43. 3 RJ Characteristics Overview of RJ characteristics • 2x as high, 2x as fast, 2x as far as turboprops • Seating capacity similar to turboprops • Wake turbulence separations like turboprops • Generate noise like turboprops (perceived as noisier?) • Takeoff like jets (profile and speed) • Cruise speed and altitude similar to jets • Jets ~ 37,000 ft service ceiling and 0.75 mach • Turboprops ~ 25,000 ft service ceiling and 0.5 mach • More runway length needed than turboprops but less than jets • Rough estimates: Turboprops > 4,000 ft and RJs > 6,000 ft • Lower sill height than jets • Turning radius greater than turboprops • Wingspan between turboprops and jets

  44. 3 RJ Characteristics Takeoff performance 10000 Altitude (ft) 5000 0 40000 0 20000 60000 Distance from break release (ft) Jets Turboprops Regional Jets

  45. 3 RJ Characteristics Noise exposure Single Event Noise Footprint

  46. 3 RJ Characteristics Turning radius - DO328 vs EMB 135 +43%

  47. 4 Effect on Airports Airfield/Airspace • Significant turboprop activity growth in the 80s • FAA developed segregated air traffic control and runway-use procedures • Many airports developed or began planning for commuter runways • Airports agreed to noise abatement procedures restricting jet activity • RJs are typically treated like jets by ATC • Lower airfield capacity through reduced utility of segregated procedures/facilities • Commuter runways (noise abatement agreements or length may preclude jets) • Immediate turns on departure • Potential airspace congestion • Airspace designed to separate aircraft with different speed/climb capabilities • Jets (including RJs) assigned high altitudes and fast en route speeds • Turboprops assigned low altitudes due to limited climb capabilities • Greater proportion of aircraft on jet routes in/out of terminal airspace • Higher altitude routes become saturated; lower altitude routes become underutilized • LLADR - Low-Altitude Arrival/Departure Routes

  48. 4 Effect on Airports Airfield/Airspace (continued) • Land-and-hold-short procedures • Intersection takeoffs • Runway length and strength

  49. 4 Effect on Airports Runway length and pavement thickness Runway Pavement Aircraft type Seats length (ft) thickness (in.) Commuter service turboprops ATR-42 45 3,800 15.5 BE1900 19 3,740 13.5 EMB 120 30 5,100 15.0 Bombardier CRJ-100/200 50 5,80016.5 CRJ-700 70 5,50020.2 British Aerospace AVRO RJ70 70-90 3,360 22.9 AVRO RJ85 85-110 3,625 23.4 Embraer EMB 135 37 5,575 15.5 EMB 145 50 7,45016.0 Dornier DO328 Jet 32 4,530 15.0 Assuming subgrade of CBR 6 and 1,200 annual departures. Design thickness specifiedin AC150/5320-6D based on max takeoff weight.

  50. 4 Effect on Airports Terminal area • Key issues • Level-of-service for RJ passengers - airport vs. airline perspective • Utility of existing commuter terminal facilities • Co-location of RJs with mainline jets, separate facility, or complete flexibility • Planning considerations • Loading bridges - sill heights • CRJ-100 and EMB 145 -- 5 feet, 4 inches • MD-80 -- 8 feet, 1 inch • Aircraft parking spaces • Length & wingtip separation • Pushback vs. power-out (turning radius issue) • Cost of push back tugs • Gate use flexibility - can RJs be accommodated at any gate? • Ground service equipment - parking accommodations for baggage conveyors, additional baggage carts, lavatory service equipment • Passenger flow changes • Concessions opportunities
