Recognizing the problems posed by congestion and delay within the National Airspace System, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airport operators, and aviation industry groups initiated a joint program of Airport Capacity Design Teams at various major air carrier airports in the U.S. Each Capacity Team identifies and evaluates alternative means to enhance existing airport and airspace capacity to handle future demand, decrease delays, and improve airport efficiency, and works to develop a coordinated action plan for reducing airport delay. Over 35 Airport Capacity Design Teams have either completed their studies or have work in progress. The need for this program continues. In 1991, 23 airports each exceeded 20,000 hours of airline flight delays. If no improvements in capacity are made, the number of airports that could exceed 20,000 hours of annual aircraft delay is projected to grow from 23 to 36 by 2001.
