    Research Studies Series a History of the Civil Reserve

    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES A HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET By Theodore Joseph Crackel Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C., 1998 ii PREFACE This is the second in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These works were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Dr. Theodore Joseph Crackel, completed this history in 1993, under contract to the Military Airlift Command History Office. Contract management was under the purview of the Center for Air Force History (now the Air Force History Support Office). MAC historian Dr. John Leland researched and wrote Chapter IX, "CRAF in Operation Desert Shield." Rooted in the late 1930s, the CRAF story revolved about two points: the military requirements and the economics of civil air transportation. Subsequently, the CRAF concept crept along for more than fifty years with little to show for the effort, except for a series of agreements and planning documents. The tortured route of defining and redefining of the concept forms the nucleus of the this history. Unremarkable as it appears, the process of coordination with other governmental agencies, the Congress, aviation organizations, and individual airlines was both necessary and unavoidable; there are lessons to be learned from this experience. Although this story appears terribly short on action, it is worth studying to understand how, when, and why the concept failed and finally succeeded.

Project: Dynamic modelling of fares and passenger numbers for major U.S. carriers ∗ Anthony Martin and Maximilian Martin (supervised by Steve Lawford)y Department of Economics and Econometrics, ENAC, France. March 13, 2010 Abstract The purpose of this project was to develop econometric models that will enable us to describe and forecast the evolution of air fares and passenger numbers for the 7 largest U.S. carriers. The principal data source was the Department of Transport's DB1B database, which contains extensive information on airline tickets sold in the US. The modelling was first conducted on the basis of pure statistical models, and we later introduced variables with real economic data, such as the air carrier's financial situation and data on the U.S.

  • The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines' Route

    The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines' Route

    國立臺灣師範大學地理學系 第四十三屆碩士論文 The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines’ Route Network in East Asia 指導教授：洪致文 研 究 生：延欣智 中華民國一〇三年六月 ABSTRACT Author: Hsin-chih Yen Advisor: Dr. Chih-wen Hung Title: The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines’ Route Network in East Asia Institution: Department of Geography, National Taiwan Normal University Degree: Master of Liberal Arts Year: 2014 Northwest Airlines operated one of the largest international route networks in East Asia from 1947 to 2010. Although Taiwan became one of its stops in Asia since 1950, it was not in the original network plan. The complex political, military, diplomatic and economic relationships between Taiwan, China, the U.S.A and other East Asian countries deeply affected airlines development and route network after the Second World War. The aim of this research attempts to analyze how these factors affected Northwest Airlines’ route network, and to understand the development of Northwest Airlines in Asia. Moreover, this research also analyzes Taiwan’s position in Northwest Airlines’ route network. The results suggest that many various factors played different roles throughout time. From the late 1940s to 1960s, Northwest Airlines’ route network was affected significantly by political and military factors because of wars and containment of communist forces. From the 1970s to the 1980s, with the international situation changing rapidly, diplomatic factor played an important role. After the 1980s, the airlines industry became less restricted, which enabled airlines to make decisions based upon the market instead of political interference. Therefore, economic factor has become more important than before. These findings have implications for understanding foreign airlines business development in East Asia rather than local airlines.

    Australia Through the Prism of Qantas: Distance Makes a Comeback

    The Otemon Journal of Australian Studies, vol. 31, pp. 135−157, 2005 １３５ Australia Through the Prism of Qantas: Distance Makes a Comeback Peter J. Rimmer* Abstract Distance and remoteness have been making a comeback among economists interpreting Australia’s place in the world. Although there are claims by telecommunications theorists that distance is dead, this is not the case in international air transport. As a means of elaborating this proposition, attention is focused on tracing changes in the overseas operations and route network of Qantas (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd) since its inception in 1920. After discussing Qantas’s origins three issues are explored: how did Qantas reflect Australia’s Imperial connection; how did the nationalization of Qantas reshape the airline’s pri- orities; how has the privatization of Qantas changed the airline’s main concerns? There is an abundance of material on the history and development of Qantas’s international passenger net- work to address these issues. The material ranges from annual reports; company histories; auto- biographies and a biography of co-founder Sir W. H. Fysh (1895−1974); anecdotes from for- mer pilots providing insights into the places used for their ‘slips’ or crew stopovers between flights; paraphernalia such as timetables and posters; the travel diaries of frequent (and infre- quent) flyers; a living memory bank in George A. Roberts (born 1909), who worked for the company between 1936 and 1970 and who now manages the Qantas Historical Collection; and Qantas Virtual Airway providing detailed information for game-players to simulate historic, current and future flights.

THE TRANSPACIFIC ROUTE INVESTIGATION: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND SOME MAJOR ISSUES By LUCILE SHEPPARD KEYESt I. INTRODUCTION T HE TRANSPACIFIC ROUTE INVESTIGATION proceeding,' now pending before the Civil Aeronautics Board, is obviously of great im- portance as a determinant of the future fortunes of the applicant carriers and the status of airline competition in Pacific markets. The proceeding also raises issues of more general significance: notably, the problem of control of rates and fares of international air carriers (especially the possi- bility of effective regulatory influence by indirect means) and the ex- treme complexity, uncertainty, and costliness of the process of awarding major international air routes by an administrative process. In addition, the historical background of this proceeding represents an important part of the development of the present United States-flag international route structure and illustrates the basic policy presumptions and particular gov- ernmental machinery which have guided this development.

    AIR AMERICA - COOPERATION with OTHER AIRLINES by Dr

    AIR AMERICA - COOPERATION WITH OTHER AIRLINES by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 23 August 2010, last updated on 24 August 2015 1) Within the family: The Pacific Corporation and its parts In a file called “Air America - cooperation with other airlines”, one might first think of Civil Air Transport Co Ltd or Air Asia Co Ltd. These were not really other airlines, however, but part of the family that had been created in 1955, when the old CAT Inc. had received a new corporate structure. On 28 February 55, CAT Inc transferred the Chinese airline services to Civil Air Transport Company Limited (CATCL), which had been formed on 20 January 55, and on 1 March 55, CAT Inc officially transferred the ownership of all but 3 of the Chinese registered aircraft to Asiatic Aeronautical Company Limited, selling them to Asiatic Aeronautical (AACL) for one US Dollar per aircraft.1 The 3 aircraft not transferred to AACL were to be owned by and registered to CATCL – one of the conditions under which the Government of the Republic of China had approved the two-company structure.2 So, from March 1955 onwards, we have 2 official owners of the fleet: Most aircraft were officially owned by Asiatic Aeronautical Co Ltd, which changed its name to Air Asia Co Ltd on 1 April 59, but three aircraft – mostly 3 C-46s – were always owned by Civil Air Transport Co Ltd. US registered aircraft of the family like C-54 N2168 were officially owned by the holding company – the Airdale Corporation, which changed its name to The Pacific Corporation on 7 October 57 – or by CAT Inc., which changed its name to Air America on 3 31 March 59, as the organizational chart of the Pacific Corporation given below shows.
