  1. Effects of the 3-Hour Tarmac Rule • Yi-Hsin Lin • 17 November 2011

  2. Tarmac Rule • If an aircraft is waiting on the tarmac for more than 3 hours, the airline can be fined up to $27,500 per passenger. • Went into effect April 2010 • Prompted by a few high profile events in 2007 • Originally only domestic, now 4 hours for international flights

  3. Recent Events American Eagle: Fined $900,000 for 15 planes at ORD on 29 May 2011. 608 passengers, ~$1480 each. This is the first time a fine has been imposed under the rule. JetBlue: Stranded on tarmac for 7 hours after diverting to Bradley Int’l Airport on 29 Oct 2011

  4. DOT Results: Success! But... more cancellations? Longer delays?

  5. Project • Most long tarmac delays occur at major airports (Jenkins & Marks) on a relatively small set of days • “Normalize” from year to year by considering daily delays • BTS flight database • OPSNET for GDP and GS data • Passenger delays?
