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 Albuquerque International Airport (ABQ) was formed in 1992. Steady growth at ABQ has made it one of the busier airports in the country. Activity at the airport has increased from 1,445,000 passenger enplanements in 1983 to 2,461,434 in 1991, a 70 percent increase. In 1991, the airport handled 210,230 aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings). The ABQ Capacity Team identified and assessed various actions which, if implemented, would increase ABQs 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.
