  • RCED-86-26 Deregulation: Increased Competition Is Making Airlines
    UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20648 RESOURCES, COMMUNITY. AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OIVISION B-197119 The Honorable James J. Howard Chairman, Committee on Public Works and Transportation House of Representatives The Honorable Norman Y. Mineta Chairman, Subcommittee on Aviation Committee on Public Works and Transportation House of Representatives This report, prepared in response to your January 26, 1984, request, discusses changes in the airline industry since enact- ment of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. It updates our report entitled The Changing Airline Industry: A Status Report Through 1982 (GAO/RCED-83-179, July 6, 1983). The report discusses airline competition, traffic, fares, service, and pro- fits, and analyzes industry changes based on economic expecta- tions of deregulation's effect. At your request, we did not obtain agency comments on the draft report. As arranged with your offices, unless you publicly announce its contents earlier, we plan no further distribution of this report until 14 days from the date of the report. At that time we will send copies to interested parties and make copies avail- able to others upon request. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE DEREGULATION: REPORT INCREASED COMPETITIOrJ IS MAKING AIRLINES MORE EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE TO CONSUMERS ---m-eDIGEST From 1938 to 1978, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) controlled domestic interstate airline fares and the cities each airline served. Concerned that regulation made the industry inefficient and resulted in many fares being too high, the Congress enacted the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. The act phased out CAB control of fares and service levels. (See PP. 1 and 2.) At the request of the Chairmen, House Committee on Public Works and Transportation and its Subcommittee on Aviation, this report updates GAO's report entitled The Clhanging __----Airline ~~ _Industrv: A Status Report :Through 1982 (GAO/RCED-83-179, July 6, 1983), and evaluates how industry changes compare with economic expectations of deregulation's impact.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts
    2 Aviation Activity Forecasts INTRODUCTION The Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) is one of six public use airports in Sonoma County. It is the only commercial service airport1 between the San Francisco Bay Area to the south, Sacramento to the east and Arcata-Eureka to the north. The Airport’s primary service area has a population of over 1 million people2 and includes Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino counties, and parts of Marin and Napa counties. Airport Role The Sonoma County Airport, as the region’s principal Airport, serves many roles, including providing facilities for scheduled commuter and air carrier airline services. The California Aviation System Plan (CASP) designates the Airport as a Primary Commercial Service Non-Hub Airport. There are no Primary Commercial Service Hub airports in the region. The closest Primary Commercial Service Hub airports are the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose International Airports. The Sacramento International Airport is slightly more distant, but at times it can be more convenient for highway travel. The Sonoma County Airport also serves a growing population of general aviation (GA) activities including corporate and business flying. For this reason, the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) currently classifies the Airport as a General Aviation facility, but in the future the Airport is expected to be reclassified as a Commercial Service Non-Primary Airport. A strong potential exists for additional scheduled airline and commuter air carrier service, particularly in the form of new, quiet technology jet aircraft with up to 135 passenger seats.3 The Airport also serves as a base of operations for local pilots, a place to conduct business, and a point of emergency access for the region.
