Abstract:

As pressure increases on the national airspace system, including airports and supporting facilities and services, it is important that all elements of the system--commercial airlines; passengers; local, state, and federal governments; business and industry--understand and work together to maintain the world's safest and most efficient aviation system. To address this need, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Research Board have launched a series of three 1-day seminars on aviation gridlock. The seminars aim to enhance public understanding of the issues, organizations, and possible solutions to air transportation problems as the nation enters a period of increased demand, limited capacity, and inclement weather patterns traditionally associated with summer. Phase I of the seminar series focuses on demand management by examining three areas: airport delay and congestion; administrative and market demand management options; and operational, legal, and political challenges in adopting new demand management strategies. Phase II of the series--the proceedings published in this Circular--examines airport capacity through improvements in infrastructure. Phase III focuses on weather as an impediment to air travel and on the technologies to ameliorate the negative effects of weather.
