**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

Multiple snowstorms in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States beginning February 5, 2010, severely disrupted aviation and other modes of transportation. Substantial amounts of snow from these storms resulted in numerous airport closures. Airports’ capacity was also significantly reduced due to weather, snow removal operations, and aircraft deicing programs. Air carriers responded by cancelling flights and combining operations, and the FAA used traffic management programs as needed to manage traffic with available airspace and airport capacity. Carriers instituted network operational recovery plans during this time to position aircraft and crews needed to resume scheduled operations.

The degree of disruption and cancellations varied by airport and by day, but DCA, JFK, LGA, and EWR all were affected by the storms. However, the flight disruptions were not limited to the slot-controlled airports. Operations at other airports in the Washington, DC, area and throughout the eastern United States were likewise impacted. Recovery of normal operations took several days after the initial storms and was exacerbated by subsequent adverse weather conditions. Operations at all airports appeared to return to normal by February 16.

Under the FAA’s High Density Rule and orders limiting scheduled operations at the airports, slots must be used at least 80 percent of the time. Slots not meeting the minimum usage rules will be withdrawn or not receive historic precedence for the following scheduling season, depending on the
