This 18 flight schedule was published in the Mercury
News, but more recent references to the cargo carriers' proposal speak
of 20 flights per day.
Sunnyvale's Fact Sheet
lists 10 air cargo flights
a day increasing to 20 per day in 2010. But I think that is an error (NASA agrees), because the same
fact sheet lists 66,000 flights per year with air cargo and 35,000 flights
per year now, for a difference of 31,000 cargo flights a year, or 85 per
day.
See the draft EA for more information.
