FAA should not be in the business of running airports. There is nothing that will relieve delay in the near future in the suggestions we re hearing. A decade ago we heard about using larger airplanes, but the trend has been the other direction. Runways aren t coming in fast enough. Only one group came back with one recommendation on harmonization.
Harmonization is vital for aircraft certification.
Operational harmonization will also be a big help for the airlines. When products don t cross borders, harmonization isn t important. At least one person thanked FAA for what it has done in LaGuardia. Please treat commuter facilities as one part of the total problem, not an independent entity. Limited immunity for airlines a key to addressing LaGuardia s congestion.
