Evaluating Capital Investments in the National Airport System

This article develops a statistical model that relates delay at an airport to aircraft demand, airport capacity, and aircraft-peaking patterns. The results of estimating the model suggest that both airport capacity and aircraft demand are significant determinants of delay. However, enhancements in airport capacity seem to be more effective in reducing delay than strategies aimed at reducing aircraft demand. Some policy implications are also discussed.
