The City of Charlotte Aviation Department and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiated this study to evaluate capacity and efficiency initiatives which could result in delay saving benefits (improved taxi times). The objective of this initiative was to analytically evaluate the impact of various combinations of airport ground infrastructure improvements and their effects upon delay. In addition, further benefits have accrued in dynamically exploring, through the use of simulation, airport design alternatives which provide for improved operational performance affecting both the safe and efficient use of the airport ground infrastructure of gates, aprons, taxiways, runway exits, and runways. Since 1985, the FAA has sponsored Airport Capacity Design Team Studies at airports across the country affected by delay. Representatives from airport operators, air carriers, other airport users, and aviation industry groups have worked together with FAA representatives to identify and analyze capacity problems at each individual airport and recommend improvements which have the potential for reducing delays. The improvements recommended by the Capacity Design Teams have emphasized construction of new runways and taxiways, installation of enhanced navigation facilities and equipment, and changes in air traffic control procedures. Typically, these improvements are implemented through established, long-term planning processes.
