From the economical point of view, current statistics show that approximately three billion dollars are paid by air travelers due to the delay in U.S. alone( Aviation Week & Space Technology, 1989] • Therefore, proper actions are required to identify and facilitate a reduction in flight delays and prevent their projected growth...
