14. Planning for the Future
Short-Term
Airport Master Plan
Capital Improvement Program
Long-Term
Airport Site Selection Program
(click on ‘Site Selection’)
As I mentioned, one of the primary tasks of the Authority is to plan for the future air transportation needs of the San Diego region.
We have developed a three-pronged approach:
Short term we are addressing the immediate needs of the current Airport through what is known as the Airport Master Plan as well as our Capital Improvement Program.
Long-term we have developed the Airport Site Selection Program, which is a continuation of a program begun by SANDAG and the Port District to site a future regional Airport.
We are also pursuing a route service strategy to add new service and/or improve existing flights with nonstop service.

16. Short Term: San Diego International Airport Master Plan
Measured, incremental improvements to SDIA…
…to ensure the Airport continues to serve the region well for as long as it’s needed

17. Airport Master Plan Goals & Objectives
Improve air service offerings
Improve customer service amenities
Improve tenant facilities
Improve access to the Airport
Improve regional economy
Involve stakeholder & community input
Complement Airport Site Selection program :
The AMP Update has prioritized the following goals and objectives
THESE ARE THE GOALS:
Improved Air Service/Customer Service:
Air Service = Destinations – with improvements to airport capacity airlines have the ability to fly to new destinations or existing destinations more frequently without delay
Customer Service = convenience – Improvements to SDIA should result in improved efficiency and comfort for passengers improving their overall experience at SDIA
Improved Tenant Facilities: It is in the interest of the airport to have sufficient facilities to accommodate all tenants such as FBOs, cargo transporters, flight kitchens etc… (Jimsair Example? Mention of Jimsair removed from earlier versions of this presentation)
Improved Airport Access: The ability for all airport users to conveniently and efficiently access their respective airport facilities. Airport access doesn’t end at departing passengers. The efficient ingress and egress of cargo and other traffic is also important.
Utilization of Developable Property: SDIA currently has three sizable pieces of real estate that are under utilized: GD, TDY, NTC. The AMP Update is particularly focused on formulating a plan for maximizing use of this land to meet all of the other goals and objectives
Community Input: Airport planning does not occur in a vacuum. As a public facility for the people of San Diego, decisions about the future of SDIA must be made with community buy-in as a key objective.

26. Airfield Implementation Plan
OPTION 1
AIRFIELD:
Taxiway B is reconfigured to allow Group V (747) aircraft to taxi along its full length.
Taxiway C is extended to the Runway 9 end along the southern boundary of MCRD.
Additional apron is constructed on west of T2 West on the NTC site.
TERMINAL:
Gates would be constructed on the west side of T2 West’s existing pier.
A new liner processor and pier would be constructed from the east side of T1, parallel with the runway, to the east end of existing TDY
GROUND TRANSIT:
A CONRAC is proposed to be developed on the GD property.
Improved roadways and parking would support the new terminal development east of T1.
Additional surface parking is proposed to be constructed west of the T2 West parking area on the NTC property.
AIRPORT SUPPORT:
With terminal development concentrated on the south side of the airfield, Cargo sorting facilities would begin to be developed on the GD property.
Potential expansion of FBO property would also be concentrated on the northern portion of the property.
SUMMARY:
Key components of this option to highlight include the protection development zones for a potential future second runway to the north, the concentration of terminal facilities on the south side of the airport and the relocation of the rental car activity to the north side.

30. Terminal Implementation Plan
OPTION 3
AIRFIELD:
Taxiway B is reconfigured to allow Group V (747) aircraft to taxi along its full length.
Taxiway C is extended to the Runway 9 end along the southern boundary of MCRD.
Additional apron is constructed on west of T2 West on the NTC site.
TERMINAL:
Full development of T2 West is proposed including additions to the Terminal Processor.
A new liner processor and pier would be constructed from the east side of T1, parallel with the runway, to the east end of existing TDY. Though similar in layout to Option 1, the linear pier in Option 3 is not as large offering more of the TDY property for Airport Support facilities development.
GROUND TRANSIT:
A CONRAC is proposed to be developed on the GD property.
Improved roadways and parking would support the new terminal development east of T1.
Additional surface parking is proposed to be constructed west of the T2 West parking area on the NTC property.
AIRPORT SUPPORT:
With terminal development concentrated on the south side of the airfield, Cargo sorting facilities would begin to be developed on the GD property and on eastern portions of the TDY property.
Differing from Option 1, Potential expansion of FBO property could occur on eastern portions of the TDY property.
SUMMARY:
Key components of this option to highlight include the protection development zones for a potential future second runway to the north, the concentration of terminal facilities on the south side of the airport and the relocation of the rental car activity to the north side. This option differs from option 1 in that full development of T2 west is proposed while the linear terminal is not as large, a greater amount of GD property is slated for Ground Transit development and both FBO and Cargo facilities could be constructed on eastern portions of TDY.
