The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) conducted a pilot project as a case study to show the benefits from increased utilization of existing air traffic databases. The utility of integrating available data was demonstrated, and a methodology was developed and demonstrated, and a methodology was developed and demonstrated addressing the issue of airport performance. The study utilized databases which addressed the factors of airport capacity and aircraft delay. The study also focused on a single airport, namely, Philadelphia International. Since avoidable delay, e.g., delays caused by weather or traffic congestion, impose major costs to the nation's airlines, it is important to better understand the conditions under which delays occur and their causal factors. This will provide guidance for decisions on airport investments which are justified with well-defined benefits.
