NEXTOR II |
|
Introduction:
The National Center of Excellence for Aviation Operations Research (NEXTOR II) is a consortium of 8 universities
contracted by the Federal Aviation Administration to provide research support for a wide variety of aviation issues.
The consortium was awarded the NEXTOR II contract in 2011, and builds upon the success of the original NEXTOR
consortium, which operated under the FAA's Centers of Excellence program from 1996-2006.
Our strategic goal is to lead the aviation community by advancing new ideas and
paradigms for aviation operations, educating and training aviation professionals,
and promoting knowledge transfer among industry, government and academic leaders.
Core members include:
- George Mason University
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- University of California at Berkeley
- University of Maryland at College Park
- Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
- Georgia Institute of Technology
- Purdue University
- The Ohio State University

NEXTOR publishes revised Total Delay Impact Study
December 16, 2010
In a comprehensive study commissioned by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
NEXTOR researchers analyzed data from 2007 to calculate the economic impact of flight delays on
airlines and passengers, the cost of lost demand, and the collective impact of these costs
on the U.S. economy. The study authors found that increased delays directly correlate with
increased costs.
The revised final report corrects an error in the calculation of the costs from lost demand due
to flight delays that appeared in the original October 2010 report.
