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
