These benchmarks can be updated in the future to mark progress. They can also be used to identify and compare specific types of airports, for instance to determine which airports are most severely affected by adverse weather or to compare the prospects for airports that plan to build new runways to those that do not. The benchmarks also provide a starting point for public policy discussions, because they give a succinct report on the current and future state of major airport capacity.
