However, it should be notated that the <br />overall average annual growth rate of the preferred based aircraft forecast is <br />actually lower than the average annual growth rate for based aircraft shown in the <br /> <br />The aircraft operations forecast shown in the TAF shows very slow growth during <br />the forecast period compared to the preferred operations forecast. Due to the <br />economic growth in the Austin and San Antonio area, many airports (especially in <br />the Austin area) have seen significant increases in operations over the past 5 to 8 <br />years. If the economic growth expected in the Hays and Caldwell County regions <br />occurs as expected, similar increases in aircraft operations are expected at the San <br />Marcos Regional Airport. <br /> <br />Activity Forecasts Chapter Page 36 of 36 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br />
