Airport Facilities The airport consists of both airside and landside fac ilities. Airside facilities include runway s, taxiway s, lighting and navigational aids. There are two active runway s at the Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport. Runway 14-32 (the prim ary runway ) is 8,800 feet long by 150 feet wide, while Runway 9-27 (the secondary crosswind runway ) is 3,155 feet long by 100 feet wide. The prim ary runway can accom modate m ost aircraft operating in the com mercial fleet, while the crosswind runway is lim ited to small aircraft weighing less than 12,500 pounds. Landside facilities include the term inal, fixed base and corporate aviation facilities, storage hangars, the U.S. Forest Service facilities, and various facilities that support airport operations including the Federal Aviation Adm inistration’s airport traffic control tower and the airport’s adm inistration buildings. Air Passenger Activity Table 3-16 presents a sum mary of recent aircraft opera tions and passenger activity at the airport. As indicated in the table, air passenger activity increased by an annual average rate of about 4 percent between 1998 and 2000, while actual airc raft operations declined, prim arily as a result of a drop in local civil aircraft operations. The increases in passenger ac tivity have shown potential for growth in the air transportation m ode as an im portant com ponent in th e regional transportation sy stem . Aircraft and air passenger activity also increased in the early months of 2001. However, since Septem ber 2001, air operations and passenger activity has dropped consistent with the experi ence of other airports throughout the United States.
