He has been told they have Stage 4 engines <br /> but still has concerns about how loud they will be if operated at night. Committee Member <br /> Santos commented that he has heard FedEx will only be bringing one of the A380 planes to <br /> Oakland. Mr. Manuel also had questions regarding the insulation program and committee <br /> appointments. <br /> Francois Gallo noted that the Master Plan process included a request from the City of <br /> Alameda that a new taxiway be studied between the South Field and the North Field. Kathy <br /> Ornelas reported that airfield planning will be studied at the next Master Plan committee <br /> meeting and that San Leandro representatives remain firm that they will not support any <br /> development at the airport that would bring carrier traffic to the North Field. Mr. Gallo also <br /> questioned the forecasts for airport cargo activity in light of rumors that Ameriflight business <br /> has been scaled back. Kathy Ornelas replied that the forecasts for cargo traffic were done <br /> regardless of the current or future tenant leases. <br /> 6.
