Abstract

The nation's air transportation system currently has the attention of the American public, with the focus of this attention principally on the needs of the country's largest airports. Since the enactment of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the proliferation of low fares has sparked a dramatic increase in passenger traffic. In addition, improved air service with increased frequencies through connecting hub airports to multiple destinations has placed a heavy demand on the existing airports that serve as centers fo passenger travel. Meeting the demand will entail construction of additional runways and other improvements at existing airports and, possibly, some new major air carrier facilities.

Update 2002.
