MIT ICATMIT ICAT Summary of Key Observations

Correlations between Restrictions and Weather not Optimum Some fixes restricted when unaffected by weather Capacity opportunity missed

Restriction/Re-route optimization required

Ground delays result directly from airspace constraints

Not only ground operation problems

Communication

No feed-forwardDelay reductions possible

Illustration of EWR Tower / Airline communication

COA167 to John Wayne Airport, Orange County, CA (SNA)

Scheduled Departure 6:50pm

7:50pm Continental Airlines calls Tower

COA167 will miss curfew at SNA unless it leaves

Tower gives permission for COA167 to skip to front of departure queue

on condition another COA goes to back of queue

COA167 departs at 8:04pm

(No COA is ever moved to back of queue)
