Slot-based approaches to airport congestion management
Brueckner, Jan Keith - 2008
This paper analyzes slot-based approaches to management of airport congestion, using a model where airlines are asymmetric and internalize airport congestion. Under these circumstances, optimal congestion tolls differ across carriers, and since a slot-sale regime (with its uniform slot price)...

Airline Delay Propagation: A Simple Method for Measuring Its Extent and Determinants
Brueckner, Jan K.; Czerny, Achim I.; Gaggero, Alberto A. - 2021
This paper offers a simple approach for identifying propagated departure delays and measuring their contribution to arrival delays. Under our approach, a propagated departure delay occurs when the arrival delay of the inbound flight exceeds the subsequent flight’s ground buffer. The size (or...
