Summary A shortfall in terminal capacity has become evident in the mature air transportation networks of the United States and Europe. ATM innovations can play a role in alleviating this capacity shortfall, especially at airports where new runways cannot be built because of space limitations or environmental constraints. Benefits are achieved by compressing the arrival stream to individual runways, ensuring efficient simultaneous use of multiple runways, ensuring proper traffic flow to the airport, and maintaining operations in the presence of unfavorable weather. This paper provides examples of initiatives in each of these areas.
