20 MIT ICAT MIT ICAT Summary of Key Observations  Correlations between Restrictions and Weather not Optimum  Some fixes restricted when unaffected by weather  Capacity opportunity missed  Restriction/Re-route optimization required  Ground delays result directly from airspace constraints  Not only ground operation problems  Communication  No feed-forward  Delay reductions possible

21 MIT ICAT MIT ICAT Future Work  In-depth study of communication within Continental Airlines  In-depth study effects of schedule changes on delays  Historical overview outlining growth in air traffic since deregulation  Description of issues and challenges facing other airports  Synthesis of most effective practices in addressing challenges faced

22 MIT ICAT MIT ICAT Summary of Day’s Weather EWR, June 29, 2000  Morning: front passes EWR to the South – affects West and South routes  Afternoon and Evening: front moves through from the North West – affects North & West routes  Late Afternoon: front moves through the South – affects South routes  Clear skies over EWR all day
