摘要：	The Tennessee Department of Transportation desires to incorporate the existing Tennessee Airport System Plan into its Long Range Transportation Plan. HNTB Corporation completed a thorough Tennessee Airport System Plan in 2001. Although the Airport System Plan is only three years old, significant changes in the nature of the aviation industry and a desire for a longer-range planning horizon indicated that the System Plan should be updated at this time. Although the efforts from the 2001 Plan will be used to the extent feasible in this Update, no other mode has been affected as greatly as air transportation in this short three-year timeframe. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the prolonged economic slowdown have resulted in the loss of one major carrier (TWA) and the bankruptcy of two other carriers (United and US Airways). Today, although low cost airlines are leading a general trend toward lower airfares, demand is still languishing. Air cargo is also experiencing a dampening of demand. Recognizing timing and resource limitations as well as the thoroughness of the 2001 plan, the update is streamlined in nature and will only consider the State's six commercial service airports and 14 regional airports. Vertical infrastructure, or heliports, have not been identified for the purpose of this report. The tasks completed for this update included an inventory of facilities, aviation industry review, review and update of previous system plan forecasts, and development plans for each of the 20 airports included in this study.
