METH-14 Rose Paper Tower Modern
Abstract:
This paper examines the economic impact on airlines due to delay should the airport lose gates. This paper will describe the techniques and data used to develop the inputs for a queuing model of LaGuardia airport. The results of the analysis allowed us to estimate the economic impacts to the airlines.
This, combined with the estimated costs, helped the FAA in making a decision on a new tower with no loss of gates versus upgrading the existing tower.
