This seminar presentation discusses expanding airfield capacity from the perspective of the airlines. The discussion covers the ways delays are impacting the airlines, passenger growth, and airport improvement plan funding. The discussion concludes by stating that new runways must be added and that in the meantime the following needs must be addressed: airspace capacity and technology improvements; scheduling efficiency; teamwork among airports, among airlines, among industry trade associations, and among the federal government for joint solutions; and streamlining processes and approvals for environmental reviews.
