New York airspace crunch at JFK may pinch Delta 20071014070340
Delta Air Lines' fast-growing operations at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport could feel the brunt of efforts to untangle air traffic that contributed this summer to record flight delays nationwide. "Our first choice is to find market-based incentives to fix delays so we can preserve passenger choice," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters in a statement Friday. "But we will consider imposing scheduling restrictions as one option to avoid a repeat of this summer's delays." Peters asked airlines to meet with the Federal Aviation Administration Oct. 23-24 as to discuss flight schedules at JFK. She said options that could be considered include so-called "congestion pricing" to charge carriers higher fees for takeoffs and landings at busy times, or outright caps on flights.

U.S. airline delays worsen in August 20071003161720
The airline industry's dismal on-time performance in 2007 continued in August with nearly 30 percent of flights delayed.The most recent government data, which also showed a surge in fliers' complaints, was released less than a week after President Bush promised to help fix the problem.Forcing carriers to shrink their flight schedules or to pay more to fly during peak travel periods are some of the steps the government is considering.The nation's 20 largest carriers reported an on-time arrival rate of 71.7 percent in August, down from 75.8 percent a year ago, the Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics said Wednesday. The on-time rate was 69.8 percent in July and 68.1 percent in June.Through August, more than 25 percent of flights have arrived late - the industry's worst on-time performance since comparable data began being collected in 1995.
