    VOLUME 48 NUMBER 9 MAY 6, 1985 Caribbean . TWA's Caribbean Flights Cure for The Doldrums TWA will fly to the Caribbean this fall, President Ed Meyer announced. 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?"

  • Do Airlines That Dominate Traffic at Hub Airports Experience Less Delay?
    Working Paper Series Department of Economics Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics University of Delaware Working Paper No. 2005-09 Do Airlines that Dominate Traffic at Hub Airports Experience Less Delay? Katherine Thomas Harback and Joseph I. Daniel Do Airlines that Dominate Traffic at Hub Airports Experience Less Delay? BY KATHERINE THOMAS HARBACK AND JOSEPH IDANIEL* The desirability of airport congestion pricing largely depends on whether dominant airlines otherwise fail to internalize their self-imposed congestion delays. Brueckner (2002) and Mayer and Sinai (2003) find (weak) statistically significant evidence of internalization. We replicate and extend these models by refining their measures of delay and controlling for fixed and random airport effects. For twenty-seven large US airports, we estimate every flight’s congestion delay attributable to its operating time. These time-dependent queuing delays result from traffic rates temporarily exceeding airport capacity, and are precisely the delays susceptible to peak-load congestion pricing. As modified, the models reject the internalization hypothesis. (JEL H2, L5, L9, D6) Forty years of conventional economic wisdom holds that replacing weight-based pricing of aircraft operations at major airports with congestion-based pricing would reduce delays and improve airport efficiency by internalizing the costs of delays that aircraft impose externally on one another. Now, just as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) finally seems ready to take this wisdom seriously, several recent articles question whether airlines with dominant shares of airport traffic already internalize their self-imposed congestion delays, making conventional congestion pricing proposals inappropriate for airports. The stakes involved in how we resolve this policy issue are large.
