摘要: |
The term “upgauging” refers to the airline industry practice of increasing capacity by adding seats to existing aircraft and using larger aircraft in place of smaller ones. The focus of this report is on airports at which airlines employ upgauging practices. This study is based on information acquired through a literature review, survey results from 18 airports participating in the study that experienced major variations in passenger enplanements over the previous 5 to 10 years, and interviews with representatives of five airports and four state transportation agencies. The results of the literature review and survey are presented in Chapters 2 and 3 of the report. The five case examples of airports that experienced the effects of upgauging are presented in Chapter 4, and the four state agencies’ perspectives on airline upgauging are presented in Chapter 5. The appendices may be found by going to www.TRB.org and searching for “ACRP Synthesis 97.”" />
