Massachusetts state airport system plan forecasts.

Abstract

This report is a first step toward updating the forecasts contained in the 1973 Massachusetts State System Plan. It begins with a presentation of the forecasting techniques currently available; it surveys and appraises the methodology used in prior aviation forecasts; it reviews the techniques used in the master plan forecasts for Massachusetts' airports; it lists factors which have an influence on aviation activity; and it makes some conclusions designed to help in arriving at revised forecasts for the Massachusetts System Plan.
