The study team interviewed individuals with a number of industry and government organi-
zations. These included the FAA, U.S.DOT, Regional Airline Association, AAAE, National
Association of State Aviation Officials, and manufacturers.
Along with the data from these surveys, the study team examined data submitted by all air-
lines to U.S.DOT covering enplanements, operations, markets served, and fares. The study team
discussed changes in these major factors with airport directors to get confirmation from them
on what they considered their major air service deficiencies to be, as well as how service at their
airports had changed over time.
Finally, the study team would be remiss if it did not include this disclaimer: As everyone in the This guidebook
industry well knows, there are no guarantees in this business. The industry is subject to external
forces that will ruin the best business models, and the approaches outlined in this guidebook can-

Summary an ASD strategy.
· ASD teams--especially in smaller communities--often have little practical guidance on what
techniques exist and on which techniques have been effective for other airports. Currently no
single resource document summarizes experience to date in ASD or offers guidance as to when
and how different techniques should be used.
· This guidebook is meant to assist small communities (generally, those with airports classified
by the FAA as small hubs and non-hubs) to better understand how to approach air service
development.
· The results are based on an extensive review of ASD-related literature, interviews with indus-
try professionals, and a survey of small community airports and the airlines that operate there.
