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?"

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.

  • Severin Borenstein* December 31, 2010 Abstract: US Airlines Have
    Draft Comments Welcome Why Can’t U.S. Airlines Make Money? Severin Borenstein* December 31, 2010 Abstract: U.S. airlines have lost about $70 billion (net present value) in domestic markets since deregulation, most of it in the last decade. More than 30 years after deregulation, the dismal financial record is a puzzle that challenges the economics of deregulation. I examine some of the most common explanations among industry participants, analysts, and researchers — including high taxes and fuel costs, weak demand, and competition from lower-cost airlines. Descriptive statistics suggest that high taxes have been at most a minor factor and fuel costs shocks played a role only in the last few years. Major drivers seem to be the severe demand downturn after 9/11 — demand remains much weaker today than in 2000 — and the large cost differential between legacy airlines and the low-cost carriers, which has persisted even as their price differentials have greatly declined. *E.T. Grether Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley (faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/borenste); and Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research (www.nber.org). In 2010, Borenstein was a member of the USDOT’s Future of Aviation Advisory Committee. Email: [email protected]. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Alfred E. Kahn who passed away on December 27, 2010. I was lucky enough to work for Fred at the Civil Aeronautics Board in 1978 and to speak with him occasionally since then about the airline industry and government regulation.

  • Low Cost Carriers: How Are They Changing the Market Dynamics of the U.S
    Low Cost Carriers: How Are They Changing the Market Dynamics of the U.S. Airline Industry? by Erfan Chowdhury An Honours essay submitted to Carleton University in fulfillment of the requirements for the course ECON 4908, as credit toward the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Economics. Department of Economics Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario April 26, 2007 Abstract : The year 1978 was a landmark year for the airline industry. It was the year the airline deregulation was introduced in the United States. Following the deregulation, many airlines set up operation across the country and started to challenge the dominance of traditional full service carriers (FSC) which translated to better service and lower fares for the consumers. However, the initial success of deregulation was short lived and by the late 1980’s most of the newly formed airlines either went out of business or was purchased by their FSC rivals. In spite of this, by the mid 1990’s, a new breed of airlines called low cost carriers (LCC) started to challenge the dominance of full service carriers in the short haul market. The LCCs did not provide any frills such as meals or in-flight-entertainment, but offered ultra low fares on short haul point to point routes. Today, LCCs have a strong presence in every market segment across the U.S with one third share of the domestic air travel market.. This paper will study how the LCC’s are winning the battle against the full service carriers and how the strong presence of LCCs has impacted the U.S.

    The Eagles Aerie Publication of the U•S Airways Soaring Eagles September 2018 ½ Eagle’s Aerie Summer September 2018 Page 1 Summer is starting to wind down in Terrell, NC. That means that the Soaring Eagles Convention is not far ahead. I am looking forward to seeing many of you in Tampa. Don’t forget to send a note along with your dues (or send updates anytime) telling us what you have been up to. This is always one of the highlights for me as I read the Aerie. I can only believe it is one of the highlight for others as well. I have just a little reminder, or perhaps it is a request. When you send me your dues or other checks, please don’t make them out to me personally. All checks should just be made to “Soaring Eagles”. Most of the deposits I make are “mobile” deposits done from my smart phone. The bank usually does not accept mobile deposits made to me personally even after I endorse them to Soaring Eagles. This is not a big deal but just a little reminder. And remember what I told you in the last Aerie! Rumor has it that Captain and Mayor Al Mondell plans to attend, play golf with Mr. Schofield and has told Butch to bring lots of money. Watching that event unfold will be worth the price of the convention tickets even if you don’t play golf! See you in Tampa, Paul Sturpe, Treasurer By the time you read this if you haven’t made your hotel reservations you missed the opportunity to get last year’s rate.
