Attention
Communities Surrounding Orlando Executive Airport:
The
National Business Aviation Association, (NBAA), is holding its 2008
convention at the Orange County Convention Center and Orlando Executive
Airport on October 6th, 7th, and 8th. As one of the nation’s
largest tradeshows, with over 1,000 exhibitors and over 30,000 attendees
expected, Orlando Executive Airport, (OEA), will experience a significant
increase in air traffic beginning Saturday, October 4th and continuing
through Thursday October 9th. General Aviation and Corporate aircraft
ranging from a two-seat single engine piston to large corporate
aircraft, (e.g. Boeing Business Jet and the Airbus A319), are anticipated
to use OEA.
In
addition to serving as an arrival and departure point for attendees
and exhibitors, OEA, is the venue for aircraft static displays,
(more than 100 aircraft). A small number of aircraft flying demonstrations
or, “fly-by’s” are planned under the strict guidance
of FAA Air Traffic Control, (ATC). A limited number of helicopter
shuttles between the Convention Center and OEA are expected; however
most attendees will be shuttled via chartered buses.
Peak
arrivals are expected between Saturday and Sunday, (October 4th
and 5th). The peak departure volume is expected on Wednesday afternoon,
(October 8th), after 3:00PM. Weather permitting; arrival flow to
Runway 7 will be from the west; while the departure peak will also
depart on Runway 7 to the east.
To
the greatest extent possible, all established noise abatement procedures
will be adhered to, given weather and ATC operational considerations.
Questions
concerning this information should be directed to the Greater Orlando
Aviation Authority’s Noise Abatement Officer at 407-825-2003
