The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airport operators, and aviation industry groups have initiated Airport Capacity Design Study Teams at various major air carrier airports throughout the United States to identify and evaluate alternative means to enhance existing airport and airspace capacity to handle future demand. A Capacity Team for Nashville International Airport (BNA) was formed in 1989. Unprecedented growth at BNA has made it one of the fastest growing airports in the country. Activity at the airport has increased from 1,141,000 passenger enplanements in 1983 to 3,447,000 in 1988, a 200% increase. In 1988, the airport handled 263,000 aircraft operations (take-offs and landings). These traffic volumes placed the airport 37th in operations and 38th in passenger enplanements among U.S. airports. The primary objective of the Capacity Team at BNA was to identify and assess various actions which, if implemented, would increase BNA'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.
