Actual Forecast
16Federal AviationAdministration09 April 2008
Things to look for
• Congestion – will it be as bad as in 2007?• Environmental concerns will continue to be in
the forefront of aviation debates.• Strength of demand given high oil prices and a
slowing economy.• Success of on-demand air taxi operators and
use of VLJs.
