Abstract
This paper develops a method for understanding the system-wide impact, measured in delay, of arrival and departure capacity constraints at 34 major airports in the United States. Capacity constraints at airports limit departures and arrivals, consequently delays accrue. Baseline arrival and departure rates at these airports were determined by analyzing four months of data. In addition to the most often used arrival and departure rates, reduced arrival and departure rates were also obtained from the four months of data. Both the baseline and the reduced airport arrival and departure rates were used as constraints for computing system-wide delays. Airport arrival and departure rates were changed at each airport, one at a time, to determine the effect of such changes on the arrival and departure delays at the other airports. Results of one hundred and three simulations are given as sensitivity matrices. These matrices describe the impact of arrival or departure capacity reduction at each of these airports on the arrival and departure delays at other major airports in the continental United States.
