YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Passenger Growth Is Outpacing Airport Operating Capacity
- TSA screened more than 904 million passengers in 2024, intensifying peak-period pressure on gates, security lanes, baggage systems and ground access.
- To sustain service levels, YCP translates traffic forecasts into phased terminal, airside and landside plans supported by operational redesign.
Air-Traffic Staffing Is Constraining Network Reliability
- The FAA hired 1,811 air traffic controllers in 2024, yet key facilities remain below staffing targets, contributing to delays and schedule fragility.
- Through network, crew and airport-flow analysis, YCP helps operators build more resilient schedules and contingency plans around constraints.
Aircraft Supply Constraints Are Reshaping Fleet Decisions
- In 2024, the FAA limited Boeing 737 production to 38 aircraft a month, extending delivery uncertainty and increasing leasing and maintenance pressures.
- YCP models fleet, route and financing scenarios to help airlines balance capacity needs, asset availability and long-term profitability.
Scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuel Remains Complex
- The United States targets 3 billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel annual production by 2030, but feedstock, offtake and financing limit scale.
- Against these constraints, YCP connects SAF strategy with fleet planning, procurement, partnerships and investment roadmaps for measurable progress.
