ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES FOR REDUCING DELAYS IN TERMINAL AREAS.

Abstract

The study presents alternative approaches, regulatory and technical, to reducing aircraft delays in terminal areas. Delays and benefits versus cost were examined for runway, taxiway, and ILS improvements; new airports; air traffic control procedural changes; automation of the final approach control function; and reduction of schedule peaks. The specific airports studied were: Kennedy International, La Guardia, Newark, Washington National, Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland. (Author)
