In order to relieve congestion in the airspace near the airports of a certain country, transportation officials propose sending passengers by new rapid trains between the country’s major airport and several small cities within a 300-mile radius of it. This plan was proposed even though the officials realized that it is the major airport that is congested, not those in the small cities.

The plan to relieve congestion would work best if which of the following were true about the major airport?

(A) Rail tickets between the airport and the small cities will most likely cost more than the current air tickets for those routes.

(B) Most passengers who frequently use the airport prefer to reach their cities of destination exclusively by air, even if they must change planes twice.

(C) There are feasible changes in the airport’s traffic control system which would significantly relieve congestion.

(D) Some of the congestion the airport experiences could be relieved if more flights were scheduled at night and at other off-peak hours.

(E) A significant proportion of the airport’s traffic consists of passengers transferring between international flights and flights to the small cities.
