Recognizing the problems posed by cognestion and delay within the National Airspace System, 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. 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 30 Airport Capacity Design Teams have either completed their studies or have work in progress.
