Airports Council International - North America (ACI-NA) maintains that capacity expansion, both at the airport and in the national airspace system, is the most effective means of reducing congestion.
"However, in those instances where such measures are infeasible or not available in the short-term, airport proprietors are in the best position to implement market-based, congestion management programs at their facilities to reduce delays," the airport organization stated.
ACI-NA does not support in its current form the Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) to create slot auctions at LaGuardia airport.
"The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has broad authority to regulate the airspace of the United States; however this proposed rule does not recognize the inextricable link between the use of the airport infrastructure and airspace. The FAA has the right to limit the number of operations allowed at a constrained airport. However, it is the airport proprietor's preeminent right to manage the facilities it owns and operates within those restrictions and according to applicable law," ACI-NA reasons.
