America's Fastest Airports
What are the fastest airports to zip through? The Huffngton
Post recently gathered a compilation of data from the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics (BTS), then averaged real-time, crowdsourced security wait times and compared expedited-screening
options and airport layouts to come up with a list of the country's
10 speediest major airports. And they are:
1) Salt Lake City International Airport
2) Charlotte Douglas International Airport
3) San Diego International Airport
4) Tampa International Airport
5) Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
6) Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
7) Hartsfeld-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
8) Boston Logan International Airport
9) Portland International Airport
10) Reagan National Airport
Fuel
Watch
The following
fuel prices were derived
from transactions
completed with the AVCARD
credit card during May. Not
all operations sell both jet-A and
Avgas. The figures for jet fuel
prices will be more representative
than those for Avgas, due to the
higher number of transactions
recorded. Prices reflect all taxes
and discounts. Data is supplied
from AVCARD in consolidated
format; individual transactions
are not disclosed.
