When airport arrival slots are scheduled in excess of the available capacity, the scheduled flights are assigned slots by a rationing scheme. The traditional approach is to ration slots by schedule (RBS) on a first-scheduled/first-assigned basis. This approach, although meeting equity criteria, can result in inefficient use of the arrival slots in terms of passenger throughput and fuel burn; however, it does not reflect the business decisions with respect to the value of a given flight to an airline. An alternative approach is to allocate the slots based on an airlines' willingness-to-pay a congestion fee, set a priori by a regulator, for use of the slot. This paper describes a comparison of the allocation of arrival slots using RBS and Congestion Pricing (CP) for flights scheduled into PHL on 10-Jul-2007. The analysis indicates that rationing by CP yielded improved performance in the reduction of average passenger delays by 39.14%, total Passenger Delays by 37.65% and cancelled flights by 66.66% (9 cancellations in RB to 3 cancelled flights in CP). However, rationing by CP decreased average airline equity metric by 34.81%.
