Introduction

The importance of Airports and Terminal Airspace in the recent past has continued to grow to meet the demands of globalization. People have continued to use planes to travel far distances for business, visits, and vacation among other activities leading to congestion. According to Roosens (2008, you need a page/paragraph number for quoted material), “A proxy that can be used to indicate airport congestion is given by airport departure delays.” Therefore, airport congestion is one of the reasons delays have been reported in different airlines across the globe. -Ok. Comment by David Worrells: …by different airlines or … different airports?

Problem

Congestion is one of the main problems affecting airports when the capacity exceeds infrastructures, which leads to traveling delays, inconveniences, and losses. One of the reasons why congestion is evident in airports is the legal policies that have been adopted in different countries (Zhong et al., 2017).-cause. The legal policies are adopted to ensure the security of people and cargos transported by planes leading to congestion in airports. -cause. Another problem that leads to congestion is peak season like summer when people are traveling in large numbers (Simeonova et al., 2018). -cause. Weather conditions and security issues have been contributing to congestion in airports. -cause. All good causes/contributing factors. Work on your narrative, make it easier to follow.

Significance of the problems Congestion is one of the main problems

Congestion is one of the reasons delays have been rampant in airports in the recent past limiting the effectiveness and convenience of airlines.-result. Therefore, it is high time that companies address the issue of congestion and find solutions.-not resultant. The efforts to address congestion should consider safety measures to avoid adding an insult to an injury.-not a result. For instance, seeking alternative means of transport can help ease congestion in airlines.-not a result. You need a minimum of three results of your problem. You have one. You have no in-text citation to substantiate your narrative.

Development of alternatives

Alternative 1: expand craft Comment by David Worrells: What is this?

The first alternative that can help do decongest airports is expanding the available infrastructure (Brander & Cook, 2020).

Advantages - the positive effect of expanding the airport is to accommodate more people and more aircraft (Brander & Cook, 2020).-need two.

Disadvantages - the disadvantage of expanding the airport is that the process is cost-intensive especially for companies that experience saturation seasonally. -need two.

Alternative 2: using advanced technology-?

The second alternative that can help ease congestion in airports is using advanced technology in their operations (Brander & Cook, 2020).

Advantages - advanced technology helps companies to process information and process of travel fast. -need two.

The disadvantages of advanced technology is the cost and difficulty of acquisition. -need two.

You need two advantages and two disadvantages for each alternative. I you say the disadvantage of alternative one is this and that; you have one advantage. If you say the advantages for alternative one are this and that; you have two advantages.

Recommendation

Therefore, I would recommend pricing strategies and airport slot allocation as the solution to end congestion in airlines (Brander & Cook, 2020). The pricing strategy would involve putting the price of air travel high and reduce demand (Brander & Cook, 2020). Low demand for air travel would help to reduce congestion in airports.-rationale and advantage of pricing strategy. Alternatively, airport slot allocation specifies the time the plane takes off or lands. Adequate airport slot allocation can reduce congestion.-advantage to slot allocation. Where is the rationale and disadvantage. Having to deal with two recommendations makes your analysis complicated. Comment by David Worrells: Two recommendations?
