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 Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) was formed in 1991. Steady growth at FLL has made it one of the busiest airports in the country. Activity at the airport has increased from 2,632,000 passenger enplanements in 1983 to 4,553,583 in 1990, a 73 percent increase. In 1990, the airport handled 224,703 aircraft operations, of which 219,000 were itinerant. (One takeoff or one landing equals one operation.) The FLL Capacity Team identified and assessed various actions which, if implemented, would increase FLLs 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 flight delays. Additional studies will be needed to assess environmental, socioeconomic, or political issues associated with these actions.
