Vaman Bajnath Abstract: Caribbean Community (Caricom) air operators, Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) and Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT) are accused of manipulating their ticket pricing policies during the non-appearance of North American competition. The Caricom citizenry claim the state airlines CAL and LIAT wield monopoly and market power and unjustifiably ratchet-up ticket prices. This action results in a damaging effect on businesses and consumers. Conversely, the state airlines demanded their prices are defensible, appropriate, practical and realistic as far as their costs are concerned in the current aviation climate. The findings advocate ticket prices are driven by uncontrollable external driving forces in conjunction with hard lined industry features and internal business coping mechanisms.
