This project examines air travel congestion and disruptions in the United States, with a particular focus on the route between John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) in New York and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The main objective is to identify the main drivers of flight delays and assess the performance of airlines operating this route. The study analyses airport operations, infrastructure capacity and demand, weather conditions, air traffic congestion, and technical issues to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting flight departure and arrival times. Additionally, the study provides a comparative analysis of airline performance, examining indicators such as flight delay rates, average delay times, and resilience to adverse scenarios. This analysis focuses on airline strategies for dealing with delays and ways to improve operational management on the studied route. To achieve these objectives, the research methodology includes the use of a specially designed MATLAB code that allows the analysis of data obtained from the United States Bureau of Traffic Statistics (BTS) for 2017, allowing a detailed examination of the reasons for flight delays on the route. The research aims to gain deeper insight into the factors that cause an impact on flight performance. This innovative approach shows the ability to provide valuable information and recommendations to optimize flight management strategies and improve operational efficiency. The results of the research project have practical implications for the aviation industry, airlines and airport authorities. Using the insights gained from this study, industry players can make informed decisions and implement strategies to address the challenges of congestion and disruption on the studied routes and airports.
