- What factors led to the success of major metro areas to maintain their secondary and reliever airports?
- Given these projections in traffic growth and the existing air traffic delays at many of the most important hubs in the United States, do reliever airports provide an opportunity to ameliorate congestion and expand/enhance commercial operations in the United States?
- Research reflects various positive aspects of having a strong regional airport system. What are some of the negative aspects?
