What areas experience the greatest amount of aircraft overflights?
The areas immediately north and south of the airport experience very high volumes of aircraft traffic. Almost 90% of Centennial’s traffic (356,560 operations in 2004) use the north/south runways. A number of smaller aircraft use the east/west crosswind runway as a means to keep seperation from the larger jet traffic. Areas directly east of the airport are impacted by these operations.
