The Converted 36A/36B Bonds were initially issued on May 8, 2008 pursuant to Commission Resolution No. 91­0210, adopted on December 3, 1991 (the “1991 Resolution”), as amended and supplemented (the “1991 Master Resolution”). The San Francisco International Airport (the “Airport”) is a department of the City. The Commission is responsible for the operation and management of the Airport. See “SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.” Recent federal legislation allows state and local government issuers, including the Commission, to convert certain outstanding bonds the interest on which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax to bonds, the interest on which is not subject to such tax, thereby resulting in debt service savings. The Commission is therefore causing the mandatory tender for purchase of its outstanding Issue 36A Bonds (the “Tendered 36A Bonds”) and its outstanding Issue 36B Bonds (the “Tendered 36B Bonds” and together with the Tendered 36A Bonds, the “Tendered 36A/36B Bonds”) previously issued by the Commission. Proceeds of the remarketing of the Converted 36A/36B Bonds will be used, together with other available moneys, to pay the purchase price of the Tendered 36A/36B Bonds upon the mandatory tender thereof by the holders for purchase. See “PLAN OF FINANCE.” The payment of the principal (but not purchase price) of and interest on all Bonds issued or to be issued pursuant to the 1991 Master Resolution, including the Converted 36A/36B Bonds, are equally secured by a pledge of, lien on and security interest in the Net Revenues (as defined herein) of the Airport. The Converted 36A/36B Bonds are being remarketed in a Weekly Mode during which period such Converted 36A/36B Bonds will bear interest at a Weekly Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent, as described herein. The Converted 36A/36B Bonds will be delivered only as fully registered bonds, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as registered owner and nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). Purchases of beneficial ownership interests in the Converted 36A/36B Bonds will be made in book­entry form only, in Authorized Denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof. Purchasers of beneficial ownership interests will not receive certificates representing their interests in the Converted 36A/36B Bonds. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Converted 36A/36B Bonds, as nominee of DTC, references herein to the registered owners shall mean Cede & Co., and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners of the Converted 36A/36B Bonds. The principal of the Converted 36A/36B Bonds is payable upon their stated maturity date as set forth on the inside cover. Interest on the Converted 36A/36B Bonds in a Weekly Mode is payable on the dates shown on the inside cover. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of any Converted 36A/36B Bonds, payment of principal and interest will be made to Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC, which is required in turn to remit such principal and interest to the DTC Participants for subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial Owners. Disbursement of such payments to the DTC Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of the DTC Participants and Indirect Participants, as more fully described herein. See APPENDIX B–“INFORMATION REGARDING DTC AND THE BOOK­ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM.” The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. has been appointed by the Commission to act as Trustee for the Bonds. The Converted 36A/36B Bonds are subject to optional and mandatory redemption prior to their respective stated maturities and are subject to optional and mandatory tender for purchase. See “DESCRIPTION OF THE CONVERTED 36A/36B BONDS–Redemption Provisions” and “–Optional and Mandatory Tenders for Purchase.” Payment of the principal and purchase price of and interest on the Converted 36A Bonds and the Converted 36B Bonds, respectively, are secured by separate irrevocable direct­pay letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit” and together, the “Letters of Credit”) issued to the Trustee by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and by Union Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Union Bank of California, N.A.) (“Union Bank”) for the benefit of the Converted 36A Bondholders and Converted 36B Bondholders, respectively. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association Union Bank, N.A. Letter of Credit Bank for Converted 36A Bonds Letter of Credit Bank for Converted 36B Bonds The Letter of Credit issued by Wells Fargo will be in effect through May 7, 2013 for the Converted 36A Bonds and the Letter of Credit issued by Union Bank will be in effect through May 6, 2011 for the Converted 36B Bonds, unless extended or terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each Letter of Credit. Under certain circumstances, a Letter of Credit may be replaced by an alternate credit facility as described herein. See “LETTERS OF CREDIT” and APPENDIX G–“FORMS OF LETTERS OF CREDIT.” THE CONVERTED 36A/36B BONDS ARE SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMMISSION, PAYABLE AS TO PRINCIPAL (BUT NOT PURCHASE PRICE), AND INTEREST SOLELY OUT OF, AND SECURED BY A PLEDGE OF AND LIEN ON, THE NET REVENUES OF THE AIRPORT AND THE FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS PROVIDED FOR IN THE 1991 MASTER RESOLUTION. NEITHER THE CREDIT NOR TAXING POWER OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OR PURCHASE PRICE OF, OR INTEREST ON THE CONVERTED 36A/36B BONDS.

THE COMMISSION HAS NO TAXING POWER WHATSOEVER. This cover page contains certain information for general reference only. It is not a summary of this issue.

The air­ line willserve nine Caribbean destinations from New York starting November 15; at the same time, it will inaugurate non-stop service between St. Louis and SanJuan. Islands to be served are St. Thomas, the Bahamas, St. Maarten, St. Croix, Antigua, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico. For more than a decade TWA has con­ sistently been the leading airline across . the North Atlantic in terms of passengers carried. With the addition of the Caribbean routes, TWA willadd an important North­ South dimension to its internationalserv­ ices, Mr. Meyer said. "We expect that strong winter loads to Caribbean vacation destinations will help TWA counterbalance relatively light transatlantic traffic at that time of year, . and vice versa," he explained. "Travelers willbenefit from TWA's premiere experi­ ence in international operations and its reputation for excellent service," he added. Mr. Meyer emphasized TWA's leader­ ship as the largest tour operator across the Atlantic, and pointed to the airline's feeder network at both Kennedy and St. Louis: "Passengers from the west and midwest caneasily connect into these ma- (topage4) Freeport � 1st Quarter: Nassau SAN JUAN A Bit Better St. Thomas With the publication of TWA's first-quar­ St. Croix ter financial results,· the perennial ques­ tion recurs: "With load factors like that, how could we lose so much money?"

The committee had reviewed the general experience of the U.S. airline in- dustry during the more than a dozen years since legislation ended gov- ernment economic regulation of entry, pricing, and ticket distribution in the domestic market.1 The committee examined issues ranging from passenger fares and service in small communities to aviation safety and the federal government’s performance in accommodating the escalating demands on air traffic control. At the time, it was still being debated whether airline deregulation was favorable to consumers. Once viewed as contrary to the public interest,2 the vigorous airline competition 1 The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was preceded by market-oriented administra- tive reforms adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) beginning in 1975. 2 Congress adopted the public utility form of regulation for the airline industry when it created CAB, partly out of concern that the small scale of the industry and number of willing entrants would lead to excessive competition and capacity, ultimately having neg- ative effects on service and perhaps leading to monopolies and having adverse effects on consumers in the end (Levine 1965; Meyer et al. 1959). 15 9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 16 16 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY spurred by deregulation now is commonly credited with generating large and lasting public benefits.

  • Severin Borenstein* December 31, 2010 Abstract: US Airlines Have
    Draft Comments Welcome Why Can’t U.S. Airlines Make Money? Severin Borenstein* December 31, 2010 Abstract: U.S. airlines have lost about $70 billion (net present value) in domestic markets since deregulation, most of it in the last decade. More than 30 years after deregulation, the dismal financial record is a puzzle that challenges the economics of deregulation. I examine some of the most common explanations among industry participants, analysts, and researchers — including high taxes and fuel costs, weak demand, and competition from lower-cost airlines. Descriptive statistics suggest that high taxes have been at most a minor factor and fuel costs shocks played a role only in the last few years. Major drivers seem to be the severe demand downturn after 9/11 — demand remains much weaker today than in 2000 — and the large cost differential between legacy airlines and the low-cost carriers, which has persisted even as their price differentials have greatly declined. *E.T. Grether Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley (faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/borenste); and Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research (www.nber.org). In 2010, Borenstein was a member of the USDOT’s Future of Aviation Advisory Committee. Email: [email protected]. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Alfred E. Kahn who passed away on December 27, 2010. I was lucky enough to work for Fred at the Civil Aeronautics Board in 1978 and to speak with him occasionally since then about the airline industry and government regulation.

  • Low Cost Carriers: How Are They Changing the Market Dynamics of the U.S
    Low Cost Carriers: How Are They Changing the Market Dynamics of the U.S. Airline Industry? by Erfan Chowdhury An Honours essay submitted to Carleton University in fulfillment of the requirements for the course ECON 4908, as credit toward the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Economics. Department of Economics Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario April 26, 2007 Abstract : The year 1978 was a landmark year for the airline industry. It was the year the airline deregulation was introduced in the United States. Following the deregulation, many airlines set up operation across the country and started to challenge the dominance of traditional full service carriers (FSC) which translated to better service and lower fares for the consumers. However, the initial success of deregulation was short lived and by the late 1980’s most of the newly formed airlines either went out of business or was purchased by their FSC rivals. In spite of this, by the mid 1990’s, a new breed of airlines called low cost carriers (LCC) started to challenge the dominance of full service carriers in the short haul market. The LCCs did not provide any frills such as meals or in-flight-entertainment, but offered ultra low fares on short haul point to point routes. Today, LCCs have a strong presence in every market segment across the U.S with one third share of the domestic air travel market.. This paper will study how the LCC’s are winning the battle against the full service carriers and how the strong presence of LCCs has impacted the U.S.
