: The benefits that result from capacity-related airport
projects and other initiatives will largely consist of cost savings to current and future airport
users associated with reduced time spent in the airport system. Reduced time in system may take
the form of reduced delay, more efficient processing, or reduced idle time. In addition, time and
cost savings can result from the ability of a facility to accommodate more efficient aircraft.
Capacity-related projects may also contribute to the ability to process more operations and
passengers, greater safety and security, reduced environmental impacts, greater comfort for
travelers, and other benefits.
