CENTRAL OREGON AIR SERVICE
MASTER PLAN PROJECT
REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
As the name Master Plan implies, the document to be developed is roughly a ten -year plan of
air service development. The plan springs from Central Oregon's present and future
economic needs and expectations. Once these development goals, benefits and requirements
are determined, the role of air service in this development is determined.
AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT
As the next step, the Master Plan sets out the present air market structure, traffic volume
and service levels -- the developmental base line. An analysis is then performed to determine
present service adequacy, and the immediate requirement for new service. Traffic in present
markets is then projected out ten years to determine realistic service goals. Part of the traffic
projection process involves the expected economic development of Central Oregon,
particularly the tourism sector which generates substantial inbound air passengers.
An essential factor in the air market projects is the level and structure of air fares. The
Master Plan will set out the present level and structure of air fares, and set goals for the
future which reflect the travel needs of Central Oregon residents and business, and the
needs of inbound visitors.
Competition is the key to good service at reasonable fares. The present and future
requirements for air service will consider this need for competition on a realistic basis.
Destructive competition is to be avoided.
To help reach air service development goals, marketing programs will be addressed, those
expected of Central Oregon's airlines as well as those expected of the Central Oregon
communities. The Master Plan will stress the need for airlines and the community to
approach air service as a partnership where both share risks and benefits.
AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT
With an idea of the type and volume of air service over an extended period, the facilities
requirements of the airport serving Central Oregon will become clear, and an orderly
preparation can commence (and be incorporated into the airport's Master Plan). Since the
airport is benefiting the Central Oregon region, it may be an unfair financial burden on the
City of Redmond to bear all of the airport's development costs. Therefore, some financial
solutions will be addressed in the Master Plan, including the feasibility of an airport
authority.
The Master Plan will also consider potential revenue generating activities at the airport to
support airport facilities development and operation.

GROUND TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT
To make the airport available to as many potential air travelers as possible, an efficient air
transportation system must be developed which reaches into all areas of the Central Oregon
region with frequent connections to and from the airport. The Master Plan would
recommend strategies to achieve such a system, one which would be composed of public and
private companies, including the car rental companies. With a strategy for ground
transportation, there will be a greater understanding with regard to the airport road system
and parking.
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT PROGRAMS
The Master Plan will also identify the various state and federal funding and technical support
programs available to Central Oregon for its air service, airport and ground transportation
development efforts. This will include F.A.A. funding programs which now contribute to
airport facilities development.
ACTION PLAN
The final and critical element is the Action Plan which will contain the strategy for
implementing the development program. The Action Plan implementation will include
funding, a program for a periodic assessment and updating of the Master Plan, and the
continuing management structure.
The following is an outline of the Master Plan program indicating each of the steps and the
general responsibilities for completion. It is anticipated that the Master Plan will require
approximately four months to complete.
