  • Idaho Air Services Study
    Idaho Air Passenger Demand Study Introduction Introduction to the Report Commercial airline service is very important to Idaho’s economy. Not only do businesses located in the State rely on the commercial airline industry to support day-to-day activities, but Idaho’s tourist industry is heavily reliant on commercial airline service. There is no national standard for what constitutes good or even acceptable airline service; such standards vary considerably by community. However, convenient access to the national air transportation system is a top priority for many businesses and tourists across the U.S. It is important that Idaho’s major population, business, and tourism centers have commercial airline service to meet their needs. All areas in Idaho have some inherent need or demand for commercial airline service. The volume of this demand is determined by factors such as population, employment, income, and tourism. Where each community’s demand for commercial airline service is actually served is a more complex equation. In the deregulated airline environment, it is not uncommon to find travelers who leave the market area of their local commercial service airport to drive two to three hours to a more distant, larger competing airport. The airport that travelers choose for their commercial airline trips is influenced by a myriad of factors. With the help of the Internet, which is rapidly becoming the number one method for airline ticket purchases, travelers can compare fares, airlines, and schedules among several competing airports. With airline deregulation, some travelers from smaller commercial airport markets around the U.S. have abandoned air travel from their local airport in favor of beginning their trips from larger, more distant airports.

HANDLING THE TURBULENCE CASE MARC S. MOLLER* LoRi B. LASSON* I. INTRODUCTION S INCE THE WRIGHT brothers lifted off at Kitty Hawk, all pi- lots have encountered turbulent atmospheric conditions at some time or another. Courts, as well, have grappled with cases involving injuries sustained by passengers as a result of turbu- lence encounters since the 1930s. Although we have come a long way this century in understanding the phenomena of the effect of air turbulence on aircraft, determining airline liability for the injuries sustained by a passenger injured during the course of a turbulence encounter, particularly clear air turbu- lence, is still perplexing and remains the focus of a great deal of litigation. The litigation scenario usually involves a passenger injured in an unannounced turbulence encounter. The claim is denied, and the airline disclaims liability on one of two grounds: first, that the turbulence could not have been reasonably anticipated, or second, that the passenger failed to follow in-flight safety pre- cautions or abide by timely warnings.
