(1) The FAA projects enplanements (passengers getting onto airplanes) but airport traffic is commonly stated as the total number of passengers getting on and off of flights. Total numbers of passengers are approximately twice the number of emplanements and are expressed as millions of annual passengers, MAP.

(2) In 2001, SCAG provided a forecast for 2025 of 167.3 MAP with El Toro serving 29.7 MAP. The forecast was revised in 2004 to the figures posted here so as to reflect post-911 traffic and the removal of El Toro from the regional transportation plan.
