As the final public hearing on the El Toro proposal wrapped up yesterday, Chairwoman Cynthia Coad requested that the board be presented with two possibilities for the airport on September 17th, one that would accommodate 28.8 million passengers by 2020 and the other that would allow for 18.8 million passengers by 2010. Several pro-airport organizations have said they would support a smaller airport, and the Orange County Business Council has also backed the proposal for 18.8 million passengers.
