摘要: As this Subcommittee is aware, summer 2007 was part of the worst year on record for flight delays, cancellations, and long, on-board delays. From January through December 2007, over 1 in 4 flights (29 percent) was delayed or cancelled, affecting about 163 million passengers. More than 88,234 flights experienced taxi-in and taxi-out times of 1 hour to 5 hours or longer, affecting nearly 5.9 million passengers. Our statement today is in response to the Chairman's request for an after-action analysis of (1) contributing factors to last summers record-breaking flight delays; (2) the status of ongoing efforts by DOT, the airlines, and airports to improve airline customer service in response to record delays and our recommendations last September; and (3) actions needed in the near- and mid-term to mitigate congestion and delays. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
