Description
Summary:This paper presents the study on the contributing factors of airport delay based on the parametersdecided during flight scheduling process. It is believed that the timing of the scheduled departure will have asignificant impact on the level of airport delays that could be anticipated for the flight. Three major airportsin the United States: Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL), New York’s John F. Kennedy (JFK) and also SanFrancisco International Airport (SFO) have been selected as the example case studies. Overall, the ANOVAresults show that scheduling parameters: “day”, “month” and “departure time” significantly affect the airportdelay and should be included in the prediction model.
