Mammoth Yosemite Airport Regional Air Service

Mammoth Yosemite Airport Regional Air Service

Horizon Air is proposing to begin scheduled regional air carrier service to the Airport beginning in December 2008 with two flights per day from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) during the winter ski season (approximately December to April). Horizon Air initially proposes to conduct two-daily flights from LAX to the Airport using their Bombardier DHC 8-402 (Q400 Dash 8) aircraft. Horizon Air has provided the FAA with a letter of intent to initiate winter ski season passenger service into the Airport in the winter of 2008-09. The Town has prepared and submitted to the FAA a forecast of future commercial aviation activity at the Airport. Winter ski service is projected to increase to a maximum of eight flights per day by the year 2011. The aviation forecast for the Airport, also considers the addition of two flights per day during the summer months beginning in 2012. No new facilities would be constructed as part of the proposed project. However, the interior and exterior of the existing 5,000-square foot maintenance building would be remodeled for use as a passenger terminal. The passenger terminal would contain TSA facilities, and may include baggage handling, customer services, rental cars, and food services within the renovated structure. Restrooms and wash station facilities would be provided within the terminal. New gates would be added to the existing fence at the terminal to allow for passenger processing and access to the airfield from the terminal. No additional pavement or other ground-disturbing changes are proposed.
