GIS and/or Non-GIS Data Inputs?

Regional airports plays an essential role in Canada’s air transportation. However, some airport struggle to raise enough revenue for operation.

Airport Capital Assistance Program (ACAP) has been funding improvement projects for regional airports since 1995. Only airports which are ACAP eligible are entitled for the funding. Several criteria must be met by the airports in order to be qualified including aerodrome status, passenger statistic and scheduled traffic.

ACAP Access Database is used to record and keep track of projects funded, in progress or new applications. It includes the following attributes:

  • Airport Name

  • Project

  • Estimated cost

  • Actual Cost

  • Project funded

Data Processing?

ACAP eligible airports overlay is extracted from the airport database based on the ACAP eligibility criteria. Other relevant information such as runways, operators, owners, type of service etc are inherited from the airport database.

ACAP Projects Listing is generated periodically from the ACAP Database and output to PDF which is linked to the ACAP overlay.
