These comments introduce the subject of the seminar's first panel, which is understanding airport delay and congestion. The panel will attempt to reach a common definition of "capacity" and "delay" and will examine some of the causal factors of airport delay and congestion. The first speaker will focus on airport capacity and its flip side, airport delay. The second speaker will give the customer's perspective, in particular, the business consumer, focusing on what it is the business consumer needs and how they are making out in the current system. The third speaker will address airline scheduling, focusing on the airline perspective on how the airlines go about conducting this business, particularly in a hub formulation and aircraft size decisions. |
