  • «Alliance Membership Impact on the Russian Aviation Market»
    «Alliance membership impact on the Russian aviation market» Research Paper Master degree in Economics at University of Barcelona Submitted by: Roman Safronov Advisors: Xavier Fageda, Joan Calzada Abstract: This paper examines the impact of airline alliances on supply in the Russian aviation market. We use the difference-in-differences model to analyze the causal relationship between being a member of the alliance community agreements, and the number of seats and flight frequency offered at the route level. Furthermore, this paper is aimed to find out differences between private-owned and public-owned firms performances in the alliance. Using data on the international flights from European to Russian cities corresponding to the period 2002-2019, theoretical explanations on changes in number of seats are empirically tested. Our results show that the traffic growth is concentrated in dense routes. We also find that the positive impact of alliances is centered on a private S7 Airlines, while we do not find a positive effect for Aeroflot, a state-owned airline that is the largest operator in Russia. JEL: L93 Air transportation Keywords: competition, airlines alliance, passenger traffic, Russian aviation market Barcelona, 2020 1 1.Introduction Alliances between airlines have shaped the air transport market in the past three decades along with the emergence and success of low-cost carriers. Alliances became common in the early 1990s, after KLM and Northwest Airlines signed in 1989 a large-scale code-share agreement that is considered as the beginning of the global strategic alliances era. Travelers received a possibility to organize a trip on a single designated code for the first time in aviation history from many points via Amsterdam, likewise to and from a plenty of locations beyond Detroit (Wickson, 2017).

    Volume 2 Number 53 September, 2019 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Engineering Report (Geoff Etridge) Broburn Wanderlust: A trial fit of the wings was carried out and some adjustments have to be made. Keith Searle has made new pins for the wings as we had none. Chris Maitland has finished the tailplane rework and we are now sorting out the control connections. We have made external release levers for the canopy as there was no way you could gain access to the cockpit in the event of rescuing anybody in difficulty. Fairey Gannet: Cleaning is ongoing in preparation for painting. Wind Tunnel Model: This is coming along very well thanks to Graham Prickett and Martin Higgs. The Skyvan, Spitfire & Mini-Delta are all going well. Magister & Master Models: Mick Aldridge is making good progress on these. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ June Meeting (Keith Freeman) Geoff Hallett entitled his talk “Just 15 miles to Christmas” a slightly obtuse title due to “Christmas Common” being just about at the centre of a circle that describes RAF Benson, RAF Medmenham, Hughenden Manor and HQ Bomber Command at Knap Hill, High Wycombe. This circle during WW2 enclosed the sites where photo reconnaissance, photo interpretation and RAF navigation maps update service took place plus Bomber Command's subsequent distribution and coordination with nominated RAF stations and squadrons for planning bombing missions and assessing the results. All done by the appropriate aircraft under the direct command of RAF Benson. He then went on to show how 3D photos (created by computer software now from original ‘double shots’) and Google Maps could be used to follow the paths of aircraft as they were flown in WW2.
