Airport Capacity Design Teams are formed to identify and recommend capacity enhancements at airports with significant flight delays. The teams are composed of FAA representatives from the Office of System Capacity (ASC), the Technical Center, and the appropriate FAA Region; airport owners/operators; airlines; and other aviation industry representatives. The goal of the Design Team is to identify and evaluate proposals that will increase airport capacity, improve airport efficiency and reduce aircraft delays while maintaining or improving aviation safety. Steady traffic growth at Miami International Airport (MIA) has placed it at number six on the list of 100 busiest airports in the country ranked by passenger enplanements. Activity at the airport increased from 9,153,000 passenger enplanements in 1983 to 14,777,636 in 1995, an increase of over 61 percent.
