FAA-2005-20704 - Congestion and Delay Reduction at Chicago O'Hare International Airport


House Subcommittee on Aviation Hearing on Delay Reduction Efforts at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport - September 9, 2004

FAA-2004-16944 - Operating Limitations at Chicago O'Hare

Congestion and Delay Reduction at Chicago O'Hare International Airport

FAA-2005-20704

March 18, 2005

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

The FAA is proposing this rule to address persistent flight delays related to over‑scheduling at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. This proposed rule is intended as an interim measure, because the FAA anticipates that the rule would yield to longer term solutions to traffic congestion at the airport. Such solutions include an application by the City of Chicago that, if approved, would modernize the airport and reduce levels of delay, both in the medium term and long term. For this reason, the proposed rule includes provisions allowing for the limits it imposes to be gradually relaxed and in any event would sunset in 2008.

Motion of American Airlines for Leave to File and Reply to Comments of America West, Independence Air and The Air Carrier Association of America

While congestion and chronic delays were a problem at O'Hare in early 2004, there are now many other airports with similar situations. The FAA should not use Vision 100's delay reduction provision as a tool for re‑regulating competition and picking winners and losers by means of "preferences," as the FAA has inappropriately proposed in this docket with respect to O'Hare. If the FAA were to do so, fundamental fairness and equity would require that similar remedies be imposed at other congested airports, including those listed above. Such an outcome would be directly contrary to the intent of Congress, which authorized the FAA to take steps to reduce delays, not to reregulate competition. American remains committed to working with the FAA toward the legitimate goal of delay reduction, but strongly opposes the re‑allocation of capacity under a system of "preferences," as stated in our comments submitted on May 24, 2005.
