In cases of high demand, which tool(s) would you use to prioritize flights?

Ground delay Ground stop Slot All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

In high-demand situations, controlling when flights depart and arrive is essential to keep the system from becoming overwhelmed. Ground delay programs slow departures at the origin, spreading demand over time so airport and airspace capacity isn’t exceeded. A ground stop halts departures from a facility when conditions are at or near capacity, preventing a buildup of even more delays. Slots assign specific takeoff or landing times at busy airports, enforcing orderly sequencing and prioritizing flights with established rights to operate at particular moments. Because each tool addresses a different aspect of capacity management—delay, halt, and precise sequencing—the best approach is to use all of them as needed.
