“…According to Hansen and Hsiao (2005), the recent increase in flight delays in the U.S. domestic system was analyzed by estimating an econometric model of average daily delay that incorporated the effects of arrival queuing, convective weather, terminal weather conditions, seasonal effects, and secular effects (trends in delays not accounted for by other variables). From the estimation results it was possible to quantify some sources of higher delays in late 2003 and early 2004 and track changes in delays that were not attributable to major causal factors.…”

“…Storms and hurricanes are almost synonymous with Florida; hence, it is logical to expect these weather events to impact air travel (Hansen and Hsiao 2005;Goh, Law, and Mok 2008) as included in equation ( 1) and shown in the estimates from Table 1. Storm variables HCATMED and HCATHGH were set to zero to represent the absence of tropical storms and hurricanes during an 11-year period (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006), thus giving some insight into the expected air travel in the absence of such events.…”

“…Airlines usually schedule for fair weather, so any decrease in AAR or ADR caused by weather can lead to delays. Factors related to weather are defined as convective weather, reduced ceiling and visibility, wind, and corresponding AAR or ADR at local and destination airport, respectively (5,(16)(17)(18). The quarter-hour airport report from the FAA database (ASPM) records weather conditions of wind, ceiling, visibility, temperature, AAR, and ADR for each 15-min epoch.…”

“…Researchers formulated several kinds of variables to represent the demand, capacity, and relationship between demand and capacity in the NAS. These variables include departure demand and queue size (10), levels of traffic (19), arrival demand and total flight operations (18), arrival queue and volume (17), airport throughput (20), and rho (ρ), the ratio of number of scheduled operations and capacity (21). This research separated the scheduled operation into scheduled departure operation and arrival operation and capacity into departure throughput and arrival throughput.…”
