Lake,. J.M. Serafin and A., Mozes Research Branch, Canadian Transport Commission INTRODUCTION In 1981 the Air Transport Committee and the 'Research Branch of the Canadian Transport Commission on a joint basis, and in conjunction with the major Canadian airlines, (who formed a Task Force) undertook a programme of studies concerning airline pricing and financial performance. This paper is based on a CTC Working Paper' which presented current data on the topic, and interpreted them in the context of the financial and regulatory circumstances faced by the airlines as of July 1984. ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE The trends illustrated in Figure 1 suggest that air trans- portation may have reached the stage of a mature industry with air . travel/transport no longer accounting for an increasing proportion of economic activity. This mile/stone in the industry's life cycle, if in fact it has been reached, would suggest that an apparent fall in the income elasticity of demand for air travel between 1981 and 1983 could persist. As data reflecting the apparent demand re- surgence of 1984 become available, the picture may change, but 1 LAKE Figure 2 Figure 1 AIR FARE INDICES AIR TRANSPORT REVENUE AS A PERCENT OF GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT 1.90 1.20.. 1.80. 1.70 - 1.10 -, 1.60. ..... 1.50. .. 8 .: . 1.40 -, r,.

  • The Legacies of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada's Prairie Provinces
    A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE: THE LEGACIES OF THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AIR TRAINING PLAN IN CANADA'S PRAIRIE PROVINCES by Allan Newell B.A. University of British Columbia, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AUGUST 2007 © Allan Newell, 2007 ABSTRACT The establishment of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) saw the creation of more than one hundred air training schools across the country. In the West, the wide-open spaces facilitated many of these sites, and a sophisticated network of airfields sprang up across the prairies almost overnight. The substantial and enduring impact of the BCATP's airfields and schools in the Canadian West is curiously overlooked by historians, who (for the most part) often focus on the Plan's overall operation at the expense of its lasting influence. The construction of the BCATP sites prompted extensive modernisation of the existing infrastructure in many of the small communities selected for schools. Moreover, the vast sums of money poured into the region and the tens of thousands of Commonwealth airmen who came to train at the airfields had a significant and long-term cultural and economic impact on the region. Along with improved infrastructure, the BCATP brought a new cosmopolitanism and a strong regional affinity for the Air Force. More importantly, the Plan influenced the perceptions and perceived roles of women in the prairies and has had an enduring effect on the Canadian women's movement. In the postwar years, the demographics of the prairies shifted as thousands of BCATP alumni returned to take-up residence in the region they had trained in, while at the same time Canadian war brides departed to be with their new husbands abroad.
