Description

In Sept. 2007, after 9 years of evaluation and a cost of over $53 million, the FAA announced it would begin implementing a new airspace structure for the NY/NJ/Phila. metro. area. According to FAA, this redesign of routes leading to and from commercial airports will fully integrate the airspace in the region, produce $300 million annual savings, and reduce delays by 20%. Critics disagreed and cite potential increases in aircraft noise and other adverse environ. impacts. This report examines: (1) the extent to which FAA followed legal requirements for its environ. review; (2) the extent to which FAA’s methodology in assessing operations and noise impacts was reasonable; and (3) the likelihood FAA will meet its projected time frames and costs of implementation.
