  • Development of Transpacific Transport Routes by the U.S
    DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPACIFIC TRANSPORT ROUTES BY THE U.S. ARMY DURING WORLD WAR II By William C. Fort, III, PhD Introduction Pan American Airways’ transpacific services west of Hawaii were terminated after the United States entered World War II. However, airmail service west of Hawaii clearly did continue. Tens of thousands of U.S. servicemen stationed on the South Pacific islands and on ships sent and received airmail letters. Commercial airmail also crossed the Pacific, and the Post Office Department published new rates to certain Pacific islands. What has not been well published in the philatelic literature is the story of how both the US Army and Navy established airlines that carried airmail over established and evolving routes throughout the Pacific during the war. Boyle [1] gave a good overview of worldwide Army and Navy transport routes and airmail services, and Startup [2] covered South Pacific airmail services, from the perspective of New Zealand. This paper describes establishment and operation of the Army’s Air Corps Ferrying Command Air (ACFC) and its successor Air Transport Command (ATC) in the Pacific during World War II. Pacific routes and service frequencies are given in Appendix I, and Alaska routes are shown in Appendix II. The need for rapid transpacific air cargo services grew rapidly after the entry of the United States into the war. The Japanese were expanding further into New Guinea, the Solomons, and other islands in the southwest Pacific, and they were threatening Australia. The United States was stepping up the delivery of war materials, fighting units, and support personnel into the South Pacific.

  • Pan American to United--The Pacific Division Transfer Case

Fisher Number 420 May 1986 massachusetts institute of technology 50 memorial drive Cambridge, mass. 02139 <PAN AMERICAN TO UNITED: THE PACIFIC DIVISION TRANSFER CASE Franklin M. Fisher Number 420 May 1986 5/26/86 Franklin M. Fisher Massachusetts Institute of Technology United Airlines recent acquisition of Pan American's Pacific Division will greatly increase concentration, especially in U.S. - Japan service — an important market with high entry barriers. Price competition will disappear. United will dominate the mar- ket by biased use of its computer reservation system and by combining its own giant domestic feeder system with Pan Ameri- can's Tokyo hub, both legacies of regulation. Without the acqui- sition, the resulting efficiencies could have been achieved in a less restrictive way with three carriers competing to provide efficient service. The Department of Transportation took a very narrow view of its post-deregulation responsibilities in appro- ving the acquisition. DEC 3 1986 f Franklin M. Fisher Massachusetts Institute of Technology The success of airline deregulation depends on the substitution of competition for direct regulation. That substitution in turn requires serious antitrust enforcement, particularly in the transition from a regulated to a free environment. Without such enforcement, there is a danger that airlines that were specially favored during the regulatory era will be able to combine and parlay those advantages into an avoidance of market discipline.

  • Specifics and Conditions of Russian Far East Seaports Development Within the Framework of International Transport and Logistic Corridors
    Asia-Pacific Journal of Marine Science&Education, Vol. 2, No. 1, 2012, pp. 59-65 SPECIFICS AND CONDITIONS OF RUSSIAN FAR EAST SEAPORTS DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTIC CORRIDORS Andrey I. Fisenko The article analyses the current state and ways of development of Russian Far East seaports in the environment of national and international «East-West» transport- logistic corridors creation, as well as possibility of their integration into transnational cargo and passenger transportation system. Keywords: sea ports, port-hub, international transport corridors, transport centre. According to the federal document (draft) “Strategy of Russian Ports Infrastructure Development till 2030” developed by specialists from the Government and the largest maritime sector companies of the Russian Federation, Russia should work out the following main objectives [2] to create national seaport infrastructure with high competitive abilities at international level: - provision of sufficient capacities for cargo transhipment ; - provision of economically efficient port infrastructure; - achievement of internationally competitive services provided by the Russian seaports; - ensuring safe and secure development and daily activity of the seaport infrastructure and maritime transport; - solution of social issues of the seaport infrastructure development. The decision to start transport complex modernization in accordance 58 59 Andrey I. Fisenko with the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation stipulates the development of the Europe-East Asia transport corridors. In this case according to the logistic scheme, the main traffic flows should pass through the ports of the Far East of Russia [1]. The perspective cargo base tending to the Russian Far East basin is expertly estimated in 400 million tones including 160 million tons of bulk liquids and 240 million tons of dry cargo.
