Aviation Delay Prevention Act

Summary

Aviation Delay Prevention Act - Directs the Secretary of Transportation to review and report to specified congressional committees on air carrier overscheduling at large hub airports. Amends Federal aviation law to authorize an air carrier to file with the Secretary a request for authority for a group of two or more air carriers to discuss cooperative scheduling arrangements, provided its sole purpose is to reach an agreement between such carriers to reduce overscheduling and flight delays during peak hours of operation and periods of inclement weather at any large hub airport. Authorizes the Secretary to approve such an agreement if it will reduce congestion at the affected airport, will not reduce service to small communities, and is not adverse to the public interest. Requires the Secretary to exempt such arrangements from U.S. antitrust laws if it is found to be in the public interest. Directs the Secretary to develop and implement an expedited coordinated environmental review process for airport capacity-enhancement projects that provides for: (1) coordination among Federal, regional, State, and local agencies concerned with the preparation of environmental impact statements or environmental assessments under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; (2) an expedited and coordinated process in the conduct of environmental and judicial reviews that ensures that they are done concurrently and not consecutively; and (3) a date certain for completing all environmental reviews.
