FAA Aerospace Forecasts FY 2012-2032
Source: Federal Aviation Administration
From the press release:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released its annual forecast today projecting airline passenger travel will nearly double in the next 20 years. The report underscores the need to continue moving forward with implementation of FAA's Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) to accommodate the projected growth.
"More and more Americans are relying on air travel, and the Obama Administration is committed to making sure the U.S. can meet our growing aviation demands," said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. "Our investment in NextGen is the key to getting passengers and cargo to their destinations more safely, faster, and with less impact on the environment."
The aviation standard for measuring commercial air travel volume is Revenue Passenger Miles (RPM). An RPM represents one paying passenger traveling one mile. Today's release of the FAA Aerospace Forecast Fiscal Years 2012-2032 projects RPMs will nearly double over the next two decades, from 815 billion in 2011 to 1.57 trillion in 2032, with an average increase of 3.2 percent per year. The number of commercial operations at FAA and contract towers is expected to increase by more than 45 percent from current levels.
