    Before the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Subcommittee on Aviation United States Senate For Release on Delivery Expected at Outlook for Aviation 10:00 a.m. EDT Thursday May 26, 2005 Delays in the Summer of CC-2005-043 2005 and Actions Needed To Mitigate Congestion in the Short- and Long-term Statement of The Honorable Kenneth M. Mead Inspector General U.S. Department of Transportation Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, Thank you for inviting us to testify today. As we venture into the summer months —historically the peak air travel time—congestion and delays are on the forefront of concern. In many markets, traffic and delays are back at a rate as severe as 2000, when travel disruptions were at their peak. And in some markets they are worse. Today I want to describe the scenario—what we’ve seen recently, and where we’re likely to be this summer, what is driving the delays, and what FAA must do to address congestion in both the short- and long-term. Traffic Levels Are Growing as Are the Number, Rate, and Length of Delays in Key Markets Both enplanements and operations are back to or greater than 2000 levels, when air travel was at its peak. Enplanements in 2004 were 698.7 million, just about 250,000 short of 2000 enplanements. Flight operations in April 2005 actually exceeded April 2000 operations by 4 percent. One of the factors stimulating traffic growth is the continued decline in average airfares. In April 2000, the average one-way airfare on a 1,000-mile flight was $147—this past April the fare was down 20 percent to $118.

  • Very Light Jet Fueling Systems
    Close Window Very Light Jet Fueling Systems Emerging market fuels expansion. By Gordon Johnson In 1976, I went to work as an outside salesman for Allan U. Bevier Inc., a Baltimore-based charter member of PEI, whose primary business was the manufacture of fuel oil delivery trucks for customers in Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia. Tank truck business was steady, but the real growth opportunity at the time was the conversion of trailers to bottom loading and vapor recovery. Bevier’s trailer shops were jammed with transports awaiting API adapters, vents, Scully systems and all the other new and exotic devices that have now become commonplace. For a young and impressionable outside salesman, it was my first experience with a tide of business directly generated by external HondaJet’s over-the-wing engine-mount reduces drag at forces and, like most forces that shape our industry, high speed to improve fuel efficiency. it was the direct result of government regulation (i.e. Clean Air Act of 1970). The next tide arrived some ten years later as federal UST (Underground Storage Tank) regulations produced a wave of business unlike any seen before in the petroleum equipment business. It would last longer and affect more PEI distributors than any other government regulation or market force had ever done before. The removal and replacement of thousands of leaking underground storage tanks would enable PEI manufacturers, distributors and installers to participate in a flood of business estimated by some in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Environmental remediation became a legitimate business activity and not just an industry buzzword.

    2011 ROBERT A. CHECCHIO ALL RIGHTS RESERVED CRISIS IN THE SKY: THE CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPING A UNITED STATES NATIONAL AVIATION POLICY By ROBERT A. CHECCHIO A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy written under the direction of Professor Michael Lahr and approved by ______________________________________________ Michael Lahr, Ph.D. ______________________________________________ Joseph Seneca, Ph.D. ______________________________________________ Jocelyn Crowley, Ph.D. ______________________________________________ Alain Kornhauser, Ph .D. New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION CRISIS IN THE SKY: THE CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPING A UNITED STATES NATIONAL AVIATION POLICY By ROBERT CHECCHIO Dissertation Director: Michael L. Lahr This dissertation examines the issues militating in favor of a national aviation policy and the obstacles standing in the way of such a policy. In spite of the impact that the nation's air transportation system has on the United States' economy, the U.S lacks a comprehensive national aviation policy that takes into account the diverse challenges that issues such as the need for the free flow of people and goods, national security, environmental sustainability, and financial stability place upon the nation's air transportation system. The absence of a comprehensive aviation policy comes at a critical time. The economic activity associated with air transportation accounts for over five percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product, yet congested airports, declining commercial airline service to small cities, and the stresses of enhanced security processes combine to make commercial air travel less and less convenient.
