The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airport operators, and aviation industry groups have initiated joint Airport Capacity Design Teams at various major air carrier airports throughout the U.S. These Capacity Teams identify and evaluate alternative means to enhance existing airport and airspace capacity to handle future demand. A Capacity Team for Greater Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) was formed in 1990. The PIT Capacity Team identified and assessed various actions which, if implemented, would increase PIT's capacity, improve operational efficiency, and reduce aircraft delays. The purpose of the process was to determine the technical merits of each alternative action and its impact on capacity.
