Potential Benefits of the Use of Separate Short Runways at Major Airports,

Abstract

The use of separate short runways for general aviation, commuter air carrier and air taxi operations, where possible, may provide increased airport capacity and hence reduced delays. These reduced delays would benefit the airport users through lower operating expenses. The purpose of this analysis is to investigate the top thirty air carrier airports for the potential utilization of new or existing short runways under IFR conditions, and to estimate the potential IFR delay savings that would result from this use.
