ALTERNATIVES FOR REDUCING DELAYS AT THE UNITED STATES' BUSIEST AIRPORTS

Since the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the number of airline passengers has grown from 243 million to over 468 million per year. Furthermore, Federal Aviation Administration projections of future airline travel range from 640 to over 775 million passengers by the year 2005. Most of these new passengers are concentrated in the busiest U.S. airports, causing numerous delays. This article briefly reviews possible alternatives to present and future airline delays, then presents the research questions and methodology used in a nationwide survey of airport executives. Lastly, the authors discuss the findings, and draw conclusions from the study.
