Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission

The Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission was the previous group who researched locations to meet the forecast demand for commercial passenger service, air cargo and general aviation. Its final meeting last year focused on providing a solid foundation of information to be used by the Commercial Aviation Work Group, which was created by the Legislature last year. The commission released its final report June 15, 2023.
