AIRPORT CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT PLAN 1989

The Airport Capacity Enhancement Plan plays a major role in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) effort to increase airport capacity and efficiency without compromising the safety of passengers or the environment. Th Plan identifies the cause and extent of capacity and delay problems currently associated with the U.S. air system, projects the effects of increased air traffic on airport capacity over the next decade, and outlines various planned and ongoing FAA projects intended to reduce capacity-related problems. The projects are directed toward one or more of four airport capacity enhancement areas: airport development; airspace control procedures; additional equipment and systems; and capacity planning studies. A description of each project is provided, along with significant milestones and expected capacity-related benefits.
