While air travel has made the globe and the nation more accessible, simply flying from one state to the next is often fraught with delayed flights, runway congestion and a host of other problems.

Senior Fellow Robert Puentes, an author, says the findings can help policymakers address critical issues affecting the nation’s transportation infrastructure.
