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
MIT ICATMIT ICAT Future Work
In-depth study of communication within Continental Airlines
In-depth study effects of schedule changes on delays
Historical overview outlining growth in air traffic since
deregulation
Description of issues and challenges facing other airports
Synthesis of most effective practices in addressing
challenges faced
