SENEL: Single Event Noise Exposure Level. Class A: Aircraft which operate at gross takeoff weight not greater than 140,000 pounds for dual main landing gear configurations and 300,000 pounds for aircraft for dual tandem landing gear configurations. These aircraft serve long and medium haul market more than 1,000 miles. These aircraft requires more fuel to reach its destination and as a result, requires greater thrust on departure. The combination of heavy fuel loads and a greater thrust correlate to the higher noise levels. Class E: Aircraft which operate at gross takeoff weight not greater than 140,000 pounds for dual main landing gear configurations and 300,000 pounds for aircraft for dual tandem landing gear configurations. These aircraft serve short haul markets less than 1,000 miles and carry less fuel and are, as a result, lighter and quieter. In the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014 there has been no noise violations of any commercial airline using any of its aircraft type under Class A that has exceeded any quarterly average noise limits. In the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014 there has been no noise violations of any commercial airline using any of its aircraft type under Class E that has exceeded any quarterly average noise limits. In the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014 there has been no noise violations of any commuter airline using any of its aircraft type that has exceeded any quarterly average noise limits.53 53 www.ocair.com 2013-­2014 Orange County Grand Jury Maximizing the Benefits of John Wayne Airport to Better Serve Orange County Appendix E: 2013 Forecast – John Wayne Airport Enplanements Federal Aviation Administration Office of Aviation Policy and Plans Terminal Area 2013 Forecast -­ John Wayne Airport Enplanements Year Forecast Air Commuter Total International Total Carrier Enplanement Enplanements 2008 4,366,016 233,034 402 4,599,452 2009 3,984,673 264,441 1,179 4,250,293 2010 4,108,624 194,575 8,014 4,311,213 2011 4,102,052 122,165 28,526 4,252,743 2012 4,083,745 143,574 77,445 4,304,764 2013 * 4,181,682 146,270 202,317 4,530,269 2014 * 4,245,856 140,337 233,248 4,619,441 2015 * 4,347,893 143,392 264,178 4,755,463 2016 * 4,448,453 146,583 295,108 4,890,144 2017 * 4,552,750 149,823 326,037 5,028,610 2018 * 4,657,972 153,257 356,964 5,168,193 2019 * 4,759,495 156,493 387,894 5,303,882 2020 * 4,857,640 159,610 418,823 5,436,073 2021 * 4,940,873 162,209 449,753 5,552,835 2022 * 5,022,345 164,813 480,683 5,667,841 2023 * 5,105,957 167,484 511,613 5,785,054 2024 * 5,195,409 170,349 542,543 5,908,301 2025 * 5,283,601 173,032 573,473 6,030,106 2026 * 5,371,306 175,811 604,400 6,151,517 2027 * 5,457,444 178,533 635,329 6,271,306 2028 * 5,547,576 181,384 666,258 6,395,218 2029 * 5,639,659 184,236 697,188 6,521,083 2030 * 5,737,877 187,463 728,118 6,653,458 2031 * 5,833,762 190,512 759,048 6,783,322 2032 * 5,929,730 193,704 789,978 6,913,412 2033 * 6,025,192 196,723 820,908 7,042,823 2034 * 6,121,001 199,775 851,838 7,172,614 2035 * 6,224,170 203,012 882,765 7,309,947 2036 * 6,330,037 206,289 913,694 7,450,020 2037 * 6,433,627 209,623 944,623 7,587,873 2038 * 6,535,990 212,724 975,553 7,724,267 2039 * 6,634,030 215,687 1,006,483 7,856,200 2040 * 6,733,070 218,783 1,037,413 7,989,266 2013-­2014 Orange County Grand Jury Maximizing the Benefits of John Wayne Airport to Better Serve Orange County Appendix F: 2013 Forecast – John Wayne Airport Operations Federal Aviation Administration Office of Aviation Policy and Plans Terminal Area 2013 Forecast -­ John Wayne Airport Operations AIRPORT OPERATIONS Itinerant Operations Local Operations Year Forecast Air Air General Military Civil Military Total Airport Carrier Taxi Aviation Operations 2008 88,985 27,739 120,219 65 91,946 0 328,954 2009 87,439 14,749 101,963 83 84,000 0 288,234 2010 88,133 10,423 104,680 65 83,387 0 286,688 2011 83,172 9,346 97,975 172 74,394 0 265,059 2012 82,675 9,083 96,949 464 71,342 0 260,513 2013 * 85,001 10,251 96,170 592 69,328 76 261,418 2014 * 84,180 10,631 95,805 592 68,315 76 259,599 2015 * 86,480 10,737 96,997 592 68,658 76 263,540 2016 * 88,758 10,844 98,203 592 69,002 76 267,475 2017 * 91,100 10,952 99,425 592 69,348 76 271,493 2018 * 93,471 11,061 100,662 592 69,696 76 275,558 2019 * 95,767 11,171 101,914 592 70,046 76 279,566 2020 * 97,996 11,281 103,181 592 70,398 76 283,524 2021 * 99,940 11,392 104,464 592 70,752 76 287,216 2022 * 101,854 11,506 105,763 592 71,108 76 290,899 2023 * 103,807 11,618 107,079 592 71,466 76 294,638 2024 * 105,872 11,731 108,411 592 71,825 76 298,507 2025 * 107,910 11,844 109,760 592 72,186 76 302,368 2026 * 109,943 11,958 111,126 592 72,549 76 306,244 2027 * 111,943 12,072 112,507 592 72,914 76 310,104 2028 * 114,025 12,187 113,906 592 73,281 76 314,067 2029 * 116,143 12,305 115,323 592 73,650 76 318,089 2030 * 118,380 12,424 116,758 592 74,021 76 322,251 2031 * 120,565 12,547 118,210 592 74,394 76 326,384 2032 * 122,755 12,673 119,681 592 74,769 76 330,546 2033 * 124,937 12,798 121,170 592 75,145 76 334,718 2034 * 127,125 12,924 122,676 592 75,522 76 338,915 2035 * 129,455 13,053 124,201 592 75,901 76 343,278 2036 * 131,824 13,183 125,746 592 76,282 76 347,703 2037 * 134,171 13,314 127,311 592 76,665 76 352,129 2038 * 136,480 13,446 128,894 592 77,050 76 356,538 2039 * 138,707 13,580 130,498 592 77,437 76 360,890 2040 * 140,961 13,715 132,122 592 77,826 76 365,292 2013-­2014 Orange County Grand Jury Maximizing the Benefits of John Wayne Airport to Better Serve Orange County Appendix G: 10 Most Popular John Wayne Airport Destinations Top 10 John Wayne Airport Destination Airports (United States Only, Passengers) Phoenix International Airport 481,000 San Francisco International Airport 425,000 Dallas/Fort Worth International 425,000 Airport Denver International Airport 423,000 O'Hare International Airport 286,000 (Chicago) Norman Y.

It lists the number of one-­way passenger’s trips per day, the nonstop distance, the average market fare, and identifies the airlines with the largest market share and the lowest average fare;; market share and average fares are provided for both airlines. Average fares are average prices paid by all fare paying passengers. They therefore cover first class fares paid to carriers offering such service, but they do not cover free tickets such as those awarded by carriers offering frequent flyer programs. The lowest fare carrier is the carrier with the lowest average fare that has at least 10 percent share of the traffic in the market, except for markets where only a single carrier has a 10 percent of greater share in such markets the carrier with the lowest average fare is identified even if its market share is less than 10 percent. In some markets the market average fare will be lower than the fare for its lowest fare carrier because several carriers that do not individually account for a 10 percent share can collectively account for a significant share. Often they charge lower average fares than individual carriers with greater market participation.54 Market and Carrier One Way Fare Information Per Day Airport Distance Passengers Overall Largest
