The Olympia Airport does NOT currently operate on an only 12 hour basis. Although the control tower is staffed only 12 hours per day, planes takeoff and land there 24 hours per day,
The average of 630 operations per day airport capacity was based on information provided in the current Olympia Airport Master Plan - which is the 2013 plan. That current Master Plan plan states that the airport has capacity to accommodate 230,000 operations annually - that the primary thing that would need to occur (in order for the airport to accommodate that many aircraft) would be changes to "optimize" the exit taxiway system. Changes to the taxiway system are among items proposed in the current Master Plan Update. (For anyone wishing to fact-check - the current Airport Master Plan is on the Port Website. See page C.9)
