			Performance Indicators:
			Results	▪ Passenger movement annual growth should be at least equal the rate in the past few years (4.5 to 7%)
				▪ Number of deflections towards other airports per year: to be determined
				▪ Airport capable to handle NLA when need arises
			Means	▪ Establishment of CAA, BIAC
				▪ Study on backup airport and NLA
