Tarmac Delay Study

Our research program outlines the background and specific of the tarmac delay rules. Using historical data of tarmac delays, the causes and patterns of extended tarmac delays are analyzed. We analyze airline responses to the tarmac delay rule and provide a case study. We review reported cancellation data for May 2010 and compare current (post-rule) trends against historical patterns. We assess public cost and benefit with particular focus on the balance between tarmac delays and cancellations. DOT had projected that public benefits exceed public costs from the tarmac delay rules, but initial results under the rule indicate that public costs have far outweighed realized benefits. The rule and enforcement strategy have created significant public harm.

Jet Fuel
One year and a half ago, I thought the industry was tittering over a cliff and if the price of oil had stayed high for another year, we all would have been out of business. What is the probability of this happening again? What are the factors that cause the price of crude oil to fluctuate so much? What can we do about it? Will biosynthetic substitutes save the industry?

The Tarmac Delay Rule

This briefing examined the tarmac delay rule to determine if it is good public policy. We looked at the controversy surrounding long delays and categorize them and look for appropriate solutions. In addition, we looked at scheduling and see if airline schedules contribute to lengthy delays. The concept of over scheduling was discussed at length.
