Mantenga el campo Lindbergh
La Autoridad Aeroportuaria da mucha importancia a la aparente situaci\u00f3n desesperada a la que actualmente se dice que se acerca Lindbergh Field. Este mantra se ha repetido desde que llegu\u00e9 a San Diego hace m\u00e1s de 20 a\u00f1os. Con mucho llanto y crujir de dientes, se nos asegura que el aeropuerto pronto desbordar\u00e1 su capacidad; el sitio web de la Autoridad Aeroportuaria afirma que el aeropuerto "no podr\u00e1 satisfacer las demandas de transporte a\u00e9reo a partir de 2015".
Why, then, does a very recent forward-looking report on airport capacity from the FAA not include our airport? Use your favorite web browser to go to http:\/\/www.faama.org\/news\/mts\/MTS0504.pdf, and you’ll find a document published by the FAA manager’s association in 2004. Therein, you’ll find an article entitled “INSIGHT: FAA’s Office of Airports takes a long, well-researched look at airport capacity through 2020.” And on page 9, you’ll find a long list of airports which have a capacity problem, or are predicted to develop one by 2020. And nowhere on that long list will you see Lindbergh Field. As an all-too-frequent traveler, I pass through many of the nation’s busiest airports, and Lindbergh is far better than most in terms of vehicular access and passenger handling.
Furthermore, according to FAA records, the “on-time” status of flights in and out of Lindbergh compares well with other busy national airports. Simply put, San Diego doesn’t need a new airport. Financial considerations also weigh against it. At a time when our fair city is facing the consequences of financial mismanagement, it is not encouraging to read, on the Airport Authority Web site, that the cost of a new airport and all of the associated requirements “is unknown at this time.” The site claims that our local tax dollars would not be used to build a new airport; but read carefully ” airport users would pay towards the cost, and local residents would have to foot the bill for new roads, light rail, etc. I look forward to being able to check the box next to “keep Lindbergh Field” when the opportunity to vote comes this fall.

Keep Lindbergh FieldThe Airport Authority makes much of the apparent dire straits which Lindbergh Field currently is said to be approaching. This mantra has been repeated since I arrived in San Diego more than 20 years ago. With much wailing and gnashing of teeth, we are assured that the airport will overflow its capacity soon; […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":726,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Letters to the Editor 5\/25\/06","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[11600],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-295221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sdnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/726"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
