AbstractThis paper presents an empirical analysis of the possible impact of the application of slot controls as a demand-management measure at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). We examine the specific case of slot controls allocated with a market-based mechanism. The paper first describes the nature of the delay problem at SFO and how slot controls would work to manage demand, briefly reviewing their history in the US. We then describe the methodology used to analyze their potential impact given the assumption of a market-based allocation mechanism and present our findings on their predicted impacts on arrival delays and the nature and level of scheduled passenger air service at the airport. Finally, we present conclusions as to the overall potential of slot controls to alleviate delay at SFO and their non-delay consequences. The methods presented in the paper facilitate a detailed analysis of the incidence of the impact of slot controls on passengers, airlines and individual communities that depend on SFO for access to the national air transportation system.
