    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.

Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-236341 August 29,lQQO The Honorable John C. Danforth Ranking Minority Member, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate The Honorable Jack Brooks Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives In response your requests, this report provides information on how various airline industry operating and marketing practices limit entry into the deregulated airline industry and how they affect competition in that industry. Specifically, we identified two major types of . barriers. The first type is created by the unavailability of the airport facilities and operating rights an airline must have in order to begin or expand service at an airport. The second type is created by airline marketing practices that have come into widespread use since deregulation. As agreed with your offices, unless you publicly announce its contents earlier, we plan no further distribution of this report until 30 days from the date of this letter. At that time, we will send copies to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation; the Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration; and interested congressional committees.

  • Airline Mergers and Alliances 1999
    Airline Mergers and Alliances 1999 The OECD Competition Committee debated airline mergers and alliances in October 1999. This document includes an executive summary and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by Mr. Darryl Biggar for the OECD, written submissions from Australia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Commission, BIAC, ICC, as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Although airlines have long sought to enter alliances with one another, the last decade has seen an important new development - the crystallisation of international airline alliances around a small number of major airline groupings. The scope and nature of these alliances differ, but there is a tendency towards deeper alliances involving co-operation on all aspects of the airline business. These super-alliances are coming as close to actual mergers as aviation’s Byzantine regulations allow, raising fundamental questions for competition policy-makers and enforcers. Alliances have the potential both to enhance the level and quality of services offered to consumers and, at the same time to significantly restrict competition. Why do airlines seek to enter such alliances? What are the benefits to the airlines or consumers? How do alliances restrict competition? What is the role played by frequent-flyer programmes and other loyalty schemes? What remedies should competition authorities consider to alleviate the harmful effects of alliances? What is the appropriate role for international co-operation between authorities?
