History
Compared to 1998, cancellations and lengthy delays increased sharply in 1999
To mitigate this situation in 2000 the FAA and airlines agreed to work together in identifying and implementing operational improvements to enhance system performance.
Objective
Establish a daily collaborative planning process for the National Airspace System (NAS), with special emphasis on severe weather planning.
Elements
Information sharing
Strategic planning
Exchange of real-time information between airlines and the FAA

19. SPT is responsible for construction of the Strategic Plan of Operations (SPO). The SPT meets by teleconference every two hours to review the SPO.
