FAQs

What does the construction impact key (G, Y, R, T) indicate in the report?

It maps construction-related delay impact using taxi delays and/or airborne holding delays: G means 15 minutes or less, Y means 16–45 minutes, R means greater than 45 minutes, and T indicates to be determined.

How are IATA airport-level designations defined in this outlook?

Level 1 indicates generally adequate infrastructure capacity, Level 2 indicates congestion potential resolvable via schedule adjustments, and Level 3 indicates full slot controls with demand exceeding capacity where short-term expansion is not possible.

What information is provided for each airport project in the outlook tables?

Tables list the project name, description of work, estimated dates, status, impact designation, and operational notes explaining how closures or phasing may affect taxiways, ramps, and traffic patterns.
