REPORT ON AIRPORT CAPACITY: LARGE HUB AIRPORTS IN THE UNITED STATES

This report describes an airport capacity analysis recently completed for the large hub airports of the United States. A total of 104 airports, including thirty major air carrier airports, were evaluated. Information was collected on existing and planned airport capacities and facilities for the airport airside, terminal, and landside components. Data on ticket counters, curb frontages, baggage claim devices, security checkpoints, parking, gates, runways, and many other items were obtained. This report describes the study motivation, data sought, survey methodology, and data sources. Preliminary findings of the study and outlines for future applications for the data collected are also discussed. Actual data obtained from the airports are included within the report. (Author)
