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.
