 Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On

Trade, House Committee On Ways And Means



OF THE UNITED STATES


A Strategy Is Needed To Deal

With Peaking Problems At

International Airports

The Subcommittee asked GAO to examine
the role that controlling the timing of flight
arrivals could play in coping with the
problem of peaking--multiple arrivals of in-
ternational flights within a limited time
period--which causes traveler delays in
clearing the Federal inspection process.

In addressing this question, GAO concluded
that because of competition, international
relations, and other implications of con-
trolling the timing of flight arrivals, this
course of action should only be considered
when all else fails in coping with peaking
problems.

There is a need to establish criteria for
identifying current and anticipated peaking
problems affecting international travelers
and a concomitant need to gauge the cur-
rent and potentially enhanced capacity of
the Federal inspection operations to over-
come these problems. Only then will there
be a logical basis for determining the need
to control flight arrivals as part of an overall
strategy to speed the entry of international
travelers.
