The committee had reviewed the general experience of the U.S. airline in- dustry during the more than a dozen years since legislation ended gov- ernment economic regulation of entry, pricing, and ticket distribution in the domestic market.1 The committee examined issues ranging from passenger fares and service in small communities to aviation safety and the federal government’s performance in accommodating the escalating demands on air traffic control. At the time, it was still being debated whether airline deregulation was favorable to consumers. Once viewed as contrary to the public interest,2 the vigorous airline competition 1 The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was preceded by market-oriented administra- tive reforms adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) beginning in 1975. 2 Congress adopted the public utility form of regulation for the airline industry when it created CAB, partly out of concern that the small scale of the industry and number of willing entrants would lead to excessive competition and capacity, ultimately having neg- ative effects on service and perhaps leading to monopolies and having adverse effects on consumers in the end (Levine 1965; Meyer et al. 1959). 15 9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 16 16 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY spurred by deregulation now is commonly credited with generating large and lasting public benefits.

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.

  • A Case Analysis of the Jetblue Airways Valentine’S Day 2007 Crisis
    REGAINING ALTITUDE: A CASE ANALYSIS OF THE JETBLUE AIRWAYS VALENTINE’S DAY 2007 CRISIS Gregory G. Efthimiou A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Mass Communication in The School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Elizabeth Dougall Janas Sinclair Richard Blackburn i © 2008 Gregory G. Efthimiou ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT GREGORY EFTHIMIOU: Regaining Altitude: A Case Analysis of the JetBlue Airways Valentine’s Day 2007 Crisis (Under the direction of Elizabeth Dougall, Janas Sinclair, Richard Blackburn) Valentine’s Day 2007 changed the course of history for JetBlue Airways. The upstart low-fare airline – which had enjoyed unprecedented acclaim from customers and industry observers since its launch in 2000 – suddenly found itself in the midst of a major operational catastrophe. A winter storm that enveloped the New York metropolitan region and JetBlue’s hub at John F. Kennedy International Airport left hundreds of the company’s passengers stranded aboard planes on the tarmac, some for as many as ten hours. Hundreds more waited in vain in the terminal for flights that the airline would eventually cancel. The flight disruptions at JFK plunged JetBlue’s entire operation into chaos, forcing the carrier to cancel more than one thousand flights over a six day period. This thesis project describes the corporate crisis communication measures implemented by JetBlue Airways to repair its reputation. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to extend his heartfelt gratitude to the members of his thesis project committee for their involvement and encouragement.
