Large certificated air carriers hold Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) authorizing the performance of air transportation. Large certificated air carriers operate aircraft with seating capacity of more than 60 seats or a maximum payload capacity of more than 18,000 pounds. Data for commuter, intrastate, and foreign-flag air carriers are not included in this publication. SOURCE OF DATA The data in this publication are compiled from information reported to DOT by the large certifi- cated air carriers on BTS Form 41, Schedules T-100 and T-3. PRESENTATION OF DATA The data in this publication are presented in five tables. Tables 1 and 2 contain summary data by type of service for carrier groups and individual air carriers, and summary figures by area and state. Tables 3, 4, and 5 show activity in air carrier system operations at large, medium, and small air traffic hubs. Data are not broken out by domestic or international operations at airports; only U.S. system operations are shown. Air Traffic Hubs Air traffic hubs are designated as geographic areas based on the percentage of total passengers enplaned in that area. A hub may have more than one airport in it. This definition of hub should not be confused with the definition used by the airlines in describing their “hub-and-spoke” route structures. Individual communities fall into four hub classifications as determined by each community’s per- centage of the total enplaned revenue passengers in all services and all operations of U.S. certifi- cated route carriers within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. areas. Classifications for 1999 are based on 610,628,716 total enplaned revenue passengers. The percentage and number of enplaned passengers in the hub classifications for 12 months end- ing December 31, 1999 are: Hub classification Percent of total enplaned passengers Number of enplaned passengers Large (L) ................. 1.00 or more 6,106,287 or more Medium (M) ........... 0.25 to 0.999 1,526,571 to 6,106,287 Small (S) ................. 0.05 to 0.249 305,314 to 1,526,571 Nonhub (N) ............ Less than 0.05 Less than 305,314 iii During 1999 there were 116 air traffic hubs, representing 17 percent of the 693 total air traffic hubs and nonhubs in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. areas. The dominance of hubs in air traffic patterns is demonstrated by the fact that 97 percent of all passenger enplane- ments were recorded at these hubs. The table below shows the number of hubs/nonhubs and the number and percentage of passenger enplanements at the hubs/nonhubs. Number of hubs/ Number of Passengers Passengers Hub classification nonhubs airports enplaned (percent) Large ................................... 29 69 458,665,099 75.11 Medium ............................... 31 48 96,394,866 15.79 Small ................................... 56 73 38,644,557 6.33 Nonhub ............................... 577 604 16,924,194 2.77 TOTALS ............................... 693 794 610,628,716 100.00 iv GLOSSARY* Aircraft departure—An aircraft takeoff made at an airport. Airport—A landing area regularly used by aircraft for receiving or discharging passengers or cargo. Air traffic hub—A geographic area based on the percentage of total passengers enplaned in that area. A hub may have more than one airport in it. This definition of hub should not be confused with the definition used by the airlines in describing their “hub-and-spoke” route structures. Air services—The total of scheduled and nonscheduled service. Carrier group—A grouping of large certificated air carriers determined by annual operating rev- enues as shown below: Carrier group Annual operating revenues Majors .............................................. Over $1 billion Nationals .......................................... $100 million to $1 billion Large regionals ................................ $20 million to $100 million Medium regionals ........................... Up to $20 million Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity—A certificate issued by DOT to an air carrier under Section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act authorizing the carrier to engage in air transportation.

Date Raised: May 1999 Complaining Party: AccessAir Complained Against: Northwest Airlines Description: AccessAir, a new airline headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, began service in the New York–LaGuardia and Los Angeles to Mo- line/Quad Cities/Peoria, Illinois, markets. Northwest offers connecting service in these markets. AccessAir alleged that Northwest was offering fares in these markets that were substantially below Northwest’s costs. 171 9310-08 App C 10/12/99 13:40 Page 172 172 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY 2. Date Raised: March 1999 Complaining Party: AccessAir Complained Against: Delta, Northwest, and TWA Description: AccessAir was a new entrant air carrier, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. In February 1999, AccessAir began service to New York–LaGuardia and Los Angeles from Des Moines, Iowa, and Moline/ Quad Cities/Peoria, Illinois. AccessAir offered direct service (nonstop or single-plane) between these points, while competitors generally offered connecting service. In the Des Moines/Moline–Los Angeles market, Ac- cessAir offered an introductory roundtrip fare of $198 during the first month of operation and then planned to raise the fare to $298 after March 5, 1999. AccessAir pointed out that its lowest fare of $298 was substantially below the major airlines’ normal 14- to 21-day advance pur- chase fares of $380 to $480 per roundtrip and was less than half of the major airlines’ normal 7-day advance purchase fare of $680.

  • Newark International Airport Airline Competition Plan
    Newark International Airport Airline Competition Plan Submitted by: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Submitted to: The Federal Aviation Administration As required to be submitted by: The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment & Reform Act for the 21st Century, Pub. L. 106-181, Section 155 Ms. Woodie Woodward Acting Associate Administrator for Airports Federal Aviation Administration Room 600E, 800 Independence Avenue, S.W. Washington, DC 20591 December 11, 2000 Re: Newark International Airport—Airline Competition Plan Dear Ms. Woodward: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (The Port Authority) is pleased to provide1 the Airline Competition Plan for Newark International Airport (EWR) as is required to be submitted by The Wendell H. Ford Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21), Pub L. 106-181. The Port Authority is keenly interested in ensuring that residents and businesses in the region are provided with an airport system that provides the highest levels of customer service, generates substantial economic benefits, and provides a large and level platform for airlines to compete for passengers. We view competition as essential to our thriving airport system and are dedicated to allowing existing carriers the opportunity to expand operations and new airlines the opportunity to serve this great metropolitan area. No other airport operator has done more to optimize the operation and efficiency of its facilities to support airline competition. Although the Port Authority is only required by law to submit a competition plan for Newark Airport, that plan must be considered in the context of the overall system of four airports and a commercial heliport owned or operated by the Port Authority within the Port District, an area roughly 25 miles in diameter centering on the Statue of Liberty.

    Collision with boarding gate, Boeing 737-49R, Orlando, July 2, 2000 Micro-summary: This Boeing 737-49R collided with a boarding gate. Event Date: 2000-07-02 at 1142 EDT Investigative Body: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), USA Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.ntsb.gov/ Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology.

  • Airlines Entry and Exit and Its Impact on Air Traffic Management: an Analytical Framework for Zero-Sum and Positive Sum Games
    Airlines Entry and Exit and Its Impact on Air Traffic Management: An Analytical Framework for Zero-Sum and Positive Sum Games By Tom Berry, Dipasis Bhadra, Jennifer Gentry, and Gregory Nelsoni ABSTRACT Passenger airline service can have a significant impact on a metropolitan region’s economy in terms of direct spending and employment, as well as on indirect spending related to industries such as tourism and the service sector. In the past decade passenger service levels have changed considerably in many markets due to a wide variety of events including increased competition, terrorism, and a downturn in the economy. Airlines have responded to these challenges in a variety of ways. Some of the traditional network carriers have been forced into bankruptcy in an attempt to reduce their costs and compete more effectively with the low cost carriers. In contrast, the low cost carriers have expanded service and enter new markets at a rapid pace. This paper examines the economic evolutionary process whereby a dominant carrier competes intensely in one market against a similar airline and retreats in another where new, lower cost entrants expand service. The relevant literature is examined for evidence pertaining to the market’s response to a network carrier’s financial distress, its impact on airport service levels, and implications on local economies. A zero sum case is explained using a recent example. A positive sum case is explored, where the positive contributions of the entering carrier exceed those left behind by the resident carrier. In the process, depending on the types of gains and nature of evolving airlines network, the patterns of air traffic may also change.
