... Page E-1 APPENDIX E: TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM ON THE CASE STUDY AIRPORTS INVENTORY AND DATA COLLECTION PREPARED BY: Mike Maynard, CDM Smith; Ray Brimble, Lynxs Group; Robert Miller, AREA; Rick Janise, RMJ Associates and Michael Webber, Webber Air Cargo. ABSTRACT This Tech Memo provides the findings from ACRP 03-24 case study airports inventory and field work findings.

... Page E-2 new airport provides a dual runway system, with the longest at over 12,000 ft., over 300,000 sq.

... Page E-3 operations back on airport with a single modernized facility is desirable for KCAB; however, no concrete plans exist. DL has a newer facility that is underutilized since their passenger hub activity has been decreased 80% of flights.
From page 379...
... Page E-4 gateway instead and no international freighter operators have entered the market. Given that they dominated the mail sector that fell so dramatically, it is unsurprising that belly cargo carriers' total cargo tonnages at DEN fell by 72%.
From page 380...
... Page E-5 For the foreseeable future, this leaves DSM with relatively few prospects to backfill cargo facilities vacancies but the airport may still find itself in cargo facilities development mode. Depending on near-term growth expectations for passenger operations, the airport authority may replace its current terminal and at least one development option would cause the relocation of the airport's cargo tenants.
From page 381...
... Page E-6 flights occurred on regional jets, so the airline's cargo capacity did not expand proportionately. At the same time, local overnight letters and packages that had been shipped by air on FedEx were directed to new FedEx ground service, thereby blunting growth in air cargo shipments.

... Page E-7 the airport to develop a separate international complex on the airport's south side. Apart from Delta, all other international belly cargo would be more effectively handled in this complex given the intersection of common third party cargo handlers, bonded facilities, regulatory inspections and common carrier trucking and couriers already serving the international freighter operators.
From page 383...
... Page E-8 tonnage at MCI was 14% lower than it handled in the same facilities in CY 2004. All of the other cargo carriers at MCI combined for only a 36% market share – roughly 31,000 tons in CY 2011.

... Page E-9 DHL hub at CVG. BFI airport is owned by King County, and is administrated by the Airports Division.
From page 385...
... Page E-10 FedEx, UPS had a 0.64 ton/SF utilization for its dedicated warehouse in 2011, suggesting surplus capacity for the foreseeable future. With entire buildings – such as a 14,000 SF building formerly occupied by BAX Global/DB Schenker – now available and with all other carriers combined having accounted for only 6,236 tons of cargo in 2011, MSY's near term judgments more likely pertain to reuse/demolition decisions than expansion/improvement.

... Page E-11 fund 90% of construction costs. The facility was built on "speculation" in 2006 but currently has no tenants.
From page 387...
... Page E-12 Sea-Tac is short on cargo ramp space primarily due to the fact the airport lacks land capacity. The taxi lane between Buildings #2 and #3 and #7 does not meet the width recommended by the FAA for taxiing B747-8 aircraft when FX parks a B-777 aircraft on their ramp and while two B747-400 aircraft are parked nose in toward Building #3.
From page 388...
... Page E-13 between them, and the aircraft and the lease line. In 2011, 65% of its total tonnage was tail-to-tail transfers, and 28% of its total tonnage bypasses its cargo warehouse and sortation facility and is trucked or tugged directly to the aircraft.
From page 389...
... Page E-14 Impressions on air cargo planning directions Providing land for just cargo facilities is something that airport planners should take to heart. Cargo facilities needed may not be traditional on-ramp multi-tenant facilities but rather off-ramp facilities accommodating more of an emphasis on truck-to-truck transfers.
