TREDAir Usage?

Question:  Can I use TREDAir on large airports?

Answer:  No. TREDAir is limited to small general aviation (GA) and non-primany commercial airports that impact one or two small counties. Larger airports have wider economic reach and should be analyzed using other methods, including consulting and/or using TREDIS. Contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

 Difference from TREDIS?

Question:  How does TREDAir differ from TREDIS?

Answer:  TREDAir is designed for small airports to analyze the near term economic impacts.  It does this by modeling changes in short term capital and operational spending, along with the impacts of visitors on the local region.

TREDIS does a more indepth analysis on the contributions by the airport to the regional economy, answering the question "What happens to the regional economy if this airport did not exist?"  TREDIS adds the ability to adjust for industry production (jobs and labor income), includes more industry detail (536 sectors) and provides a more robust suite of reports.
