  • Planes Versus Passengers: Effects of Airline Alliances on Traffic and Seats
    Planes versus Passengers: Effects of Airline Alliances on Traffic and Seats Attiat F. Ott 1 and Oswaldo J. Patino 2 1. Introduction A New York Times’ article “Airlines Find a Cruising Speed” by Jad Monawad (October 9, 2010, pp.B1-B2), presented data which purports to show that airlines have embraced a practice that would put their planes on Furlough. In doing so, airlines are able to weather the effects of recessions and oil price shocks. The author presented data covering the period 2000-2010 documenting this trend—fewer total flights, with an expansion in flights load factor by more than 17 percent. The outcome is not unexpected: rising air fares, congestion at terminals with little if any empty seats. The grounding of planes to fill seats to capacity is but another way for airlines, especially domestic airlines to stay afloat. The deregulation of the US Airlines Industry in the 1970’s eliminated government control over fares, routes and market entry. With deregulation, entry accelerated and fares reduced especially for long distance travel. In 1978, airline profits reached record levels. This rosy outlook did not last. The 1979 oil crisis hit the airline industry hard by raising fuel costs. This adverse effect on airline profitability was further magnified by a slump in air traffic 1 Attiat F.
