Since there are no delays during the evening hours, it can be concluded that the airport authority is charging uniform landing fees throughout the day. This means that there is no incentive for airlines to schedule their flights during non-peak hours when the airport is less busy, causing congestion and delays during peak hours. If landing fees were higher during peak hours, airlines would be incentivized to schedule their flights during non-peak hours, thus reducing congestion and delays.
