Recognizing the problems posed by congestion and delay within the National Airspace System, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airport operators, and aviation industry groups initiated joint Airport Capacity Design Teams at various major air carrier airports throughout the country. Each Capacity Team identifies and evaluates alternative means to enhance existing airport and airspace capacity to handle future demand, decrease delays, and improve airport efficiency and works to develop a coordinated action plan for reducing airport delay. Over 35 Airport Capacity Design Teams have either completed their studies or have work in progress. Steady growth at Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport has made it one of the busier airports in the country. Activity at the airport has increased from 2,823,598 revenue passenger enplanements in 1983 to 4,266,092 in 1992, a 51 percent increase. In 1992, the airport handled 237,216 aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings). An Airport Capacity Design Team for Cleveland- Hopkins International Airport (CLE) was formed in 1991. The CLE Capacity Team identified and assessed various actions which, if implemented, would increase CLE's capacity, improve operational efficiency, and reduce aircraft delays. The purpose of the process was to deter- mine the technical merits of each alternative action and its impact on capacity. Additional studies will be needed to assess environmental, socioeconomic, or political issues associated with these actions.
