Introduction: The National Center of Excellence for Aviation Operations Research (NEXTOR) was established on June 26, 1996 as one of the five Centers of Excellence created by the Federal Aviation Administration. 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

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. View Report View Press Release 39th Annual Short Course Airport Systems Planning and Design November 15-18, 2010 University of California, Berkeley NEXTOR is offering this short course, which provides an introduction to the broad range of issues that arise in planning airport systems and the development of new and existing airports, as well as the design of airport facilities to handle both aircraft and passenger demand.
