Plan Overview
The City of Klamath Falls owns and operates the Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport (LMT), Oregon. The City, as the airport sponsor, is conducting an update to the LMT Airport Master Plan. The City hired Mead & Hunt, Inc. to prepare the Plan, which is funded at 3 percent by the City, 91 percent by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and 6 percent by the Oregon Department of Aviation (ODA).
Plan Purpose
The Plan is a roadmap to guide the orderly development of LMT facilities, equipment, and services over the next 20-years. The FAA encourages an Airport Master Plan update about every ten years. The previous LMT Airport Master Plan was completed in 2005. This 2018 Plan update documents airport improvements to meet future demand and FAA standards, in a manner complementary to community and stakeholder interests.
Plan Outcomes
The Plan results in a preferred 20-year Airport development strategy. The Plan’s two key products are: 1) an Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) and, 2) an Airport Layout Plan (ALP) record drawing set. These products assist the Airport in conforming with FAA planning assurances, and the ability to seek project funding eligible under federal and state airport grant-in-aid programs.
