Regulatory Analysis: Allocation of IFR Reservations at Washington National Airport.
Abstract
IFR reservations at Washington National Airport (DCA) are presently awarded to individual air carriers and commuters by means of separate scheduling committees. Runway access is determined by unanimous agreement of carriers authorized to serve the airport. The subject report analyzes the economic impacts of two alternative methods--a slot exchange auction and an administrative procedure--for allocating DCA IFR reservations to users. Anticipated auction results and a sample administrative allocation are presented. Passenger, airline, and general economic impacts are discussed and estimates are provided of airport costs and revenues associated with each procedure. The analysis was prepared as supporting material for a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the allocation of IFR reservations at DCA. (Author)
