The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airport operators, and aviation industry groups have initiated Airport Capacity Design Teams at various major air carrier airports to identify and evaluate alternative means to enhance existing airport and airspace capacity to handle future demand. A Capacity Team for San Juan's Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU) was formed in 1990. Steady growth at SJU has made it one of the busiest airports in the country. Activity at the airport has increased from 2,405,000 passenger enplanements in 1983 to 4,011,000 in 1988, a 67 percent increase. In 1989, the airport handled 194,000 aircraft operations (take-offs and landings). The primary objective of the Capacity Team at SJU was to identify and assess various actions which, if implemented, would increase SJU's capacity, improve operational efficiency, and reduce aircraft delays and related costs. The purpose of the process was to determine the technical merits of each alternative action and its impact on capacity.
