	Diversion airports - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diversion airports are suitable airport capable of handling a particular ETOPS rated airplane during an emergency landing and whose flying distance at the point of emergency shall not exceed the ETOPS diversion period of that particular airplane.
		It is, therefore, important that any airports designated as an en route diversion airport have the capabilities, services and facilities to safely support that particular airplane and that the weather conditions at the time of arrival provide a high assurance that safe landing is achievable with an engine and/or systems malfunctioning.
		An ETOPS flight may only be approved by the ATC if the diversion airports are available throughout the length of the flight.

	Barclay Statement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Airports appreciate the flexibility that Congress provided to financially distressed airports in Vision 100 that allows them to use their PFCs (with the approval of the Secretary of Transportation), to help reduce past airport debt on projects that were not eligible for AIP funding.
		The airport that was clearly the target of this initiative had received airline approval to spend AIP monies on their noise mitigation program; by doing so, the airport and airline avoided lawsuits and were able to get agreement to construct a new runway.
		Airports, like other organizations that manage infrastructure and offer their facilities at a price to users, are in the best position to set pricing regimes in order to pay for the costs of establishing and maintaining their facilities.

	Section 7
		Under certain circumstances, the nearest airport may be a considerable distance from the aircraft's position or located in a target area while a smaller airport closer to the aircraft and outside the target area may be acceptable from a safety standpoint.
		A desired diversion airport is one at which the longest usable runway is of such length as to afford a normal landing for a specific class of aircraft when the aircraft's landing characteristics are computed for the field elevation of the airport under consideration.
		A minimum diversion airport is one at which the longest usable runway is of such length which will afford a safe landing for a specific class of aircraft when the aircraft's landing characteristics are computed for the field elevation of the airport under consideration.

		Airport revenues are not to be used for general economic development, marketing, and promotion activities unrelated to the individual airport or airport system.
		Airports should make payments reflecting only the value of services and facilities provided to the airport, and only for such services and facilities that are truly needed by the airport and are related to the movement of passengers and cargo through the airport.
		Airports could use their monopoly power to gouge airport users in order to fund non-aviation activities, thereby providing community services in excess of those the community is willing to pay for with its tax dollars.

		More importantly, using airport revenue generated by capital provided by airlines and other users of the aviation system to promote and support regional economic growth would be precisely the kind of diversion of revenue that the grant assurances are meant to guard against.
		Airports are now asking for relief from obligations that they incurred as part of a well-understood deal, under which the federal government would finance, and local and state governments would develop, the airport infrastructure needed to complement the federally-controlled airspace system.

	Aero 22 - New ETOPS Regulations
		Although diversions are rare, any airplane might someday need to divert to an airport other than its intended destination for various reasons (e.g., passenger illness, smoke in the flight deck or cabin, turbulence, adverse winds, weather, fuel leak, cargo fire, in-flight engine failure or shutdown).
		Because alternate airport weather is checked before airplane departure, and weather conditions can vary over time, the conservative weather minimums required for dispatch are higher than those that would be required to perform an instrument approach at that alternate airport.
		A diversion is then generally required because of the increased fuel consumption of turbine engines at low altitudes and the corresponding reduction in range.

		An example of the diversion of airport revenues would be the imposition of an airline ticket tax on passengers at an airport to fund improvements in its sewer system.
		In 1986, the city leased the main airport's terminal and a general aviation field to a private firm for a minimum yearly payment of $400,000, which was diverted to the city's general fund and not used for airport purposes.

		Since Honolulu is only 5 hours flight from San Francisco, assuming that there are no suitable airports or islands between them, at mid-point, a Boeing 777 is never more than two and a half hours away to return to the original, or proceed to the destination airport for a safe landing during an emergency.
		There has been an over-emphasis of single engine diversions when in fact, statistics have shown that most diversions, whether by 2, 3 or 4 engines plane are mostly due to weather or medical reasons rather than because of engine failure.
