Problem #3 In the case‚ we learned that adverse weather conditions are primary cause of delays at Logan Airport. When weather conditions deteriorate‚ or when winds from the northwest become moderately strong‚ Logan’s capacity drops from three runways (where one runway handles both arrivals and departures‚ one runway only departures‚ and one runway only arrivals) to two (where two runways handle both arrivals and departures.) Arrival capacity in the former case averages around 60 planes an hour
