The Subcommittee asked GAO to examine the role that controlling the timing of flight arrivals could play in coping with the problem of peaking--multiple arrivals of international flights within a limited time period--which causes traveler delays in clearing the Federal inspection process. In addressing this question, GAO concluded that because of competition, international relations, and other implications of controlling the timing of flight arrivals, this course of action should only be considered when all else fails in coping with peaking problems. There is a need to establish criteria for identifying current and anticipated peaking problems affecting international travelers and a concomitant need to gauge the current and potentially enhanced capacity of the Federal inspection operations to overcome these problems. Only then will there be a logical basis for determining the need to control flight arrivals as part of an overall strategy to speed the entry of international travelers.
