BOOK REVIEWS COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORTATION by John H. Frederick (Third Edition), Richard D. Irwin, Inc., Chicago; 466 pp. ill. Trade Price $6.65. Although this ' is the third edition bearing this title, Dr. Frederick presents it as a new book. A comparison of it with the second edition (1946) sustains his claim to a great extent. The most fundamental change is that the author now gives Federal regulatory policies much greater emphasis. The earlier volumes contained such material as how to fly a transport plane, an obviously necessary bit of knowledge for someone in the industry but not immediately needed by the student of air transportation. While the law school student may not have difficulty with the various chapters on the Civil Aeronautics Board, the college undergraduate (for whom Professor Frederick originally produced the book) may find the material complex and not too stimulating. However, it is material that is undoubtedly more significant than such chapters as "Station Management" in the earlier work. In addition to this book's value to students, industry personnel engaging in any serious reading looking toward their own advancement will profit by Dr.

NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-16-21 Duopoly Competition between Airline Groups with Dual- TITLE: brand Services - The case of the Australian domestic market The Australian aviation industry achieved substantial growth ABSTRACT: after the abolition of the “two-airline-policy” in 1990. With Virgin’s purchase of Tiger Airways, a new duopoly between two airlines groups, each consisting of a full service airline (FSA) and a low cost carrier (LCC), emerged in the domestic market. In this study, we analyze the pricing dynamics among the four airlines of the duopoly groups, using panel data of online fares on the four most travelled routes in the domestic market. Our empirical results suggest that market segmentation allows the FSAs to charge significantly higher prices than the LCCs. Still, there is clear evidence of competition within and across the market segments, and the airlines’ pricing responses are asymmetric. Virgin’s price responses to Qantas and Jetstar are moderate. In comparison, more than one third of Qantas’s fare changes and less than half of Jetstar’s fare charges are in response to Virgin’s fare adjustments in the previous period.

  • Lockheed L-188 Electra
    SOUTH AUSTRALIAN AVIATION MUSEUM SIGNIFICANT AIRCRAFT PROFILES LOCKHEED L-188 ELECTRA The 1950s was a transitional period for Australia's two major domestic airlines Ansett-ANA and TAA (Trans Australia Airlines), and its international airline Qantas. The decade began with the carriers operating all piston engine aircraft and concluded with a number of turbo-prop powered types being introduced to the respective fleets. Among the new types was the Lockheed L-188 Electra. In comparison with other aircraft types flown by Australia's major airlines, Electra numbers were comparatively small, with only 11 being operated between the three major carriers. Despite their limited numbers, they proved to be a worthy, reliable airframe, bridging the gap between piston power and the forthcoming jet era. Built by the American Lockheed Corporation, the Electra came in response to requests, particularly from Capitol Airlines and American Airlines, for a short/medium haul airliner carrying 60-70 passengers over an average range of 700 miles (1300 km). American Airlines placed an order for 35 Electras in June 1955, followed shortly by an order from Eastern Airlines for an additional 40 aircraft. Thus committed, Lockheed proceeded with final design work, resulting in the prototype being completed by December 1957. The L-188 project, as it had been known prior to the name Electra being bestowed on it, could boast some impressive features. A low wing aircraft, powered by four Allison 501 turbo-prop engines (similar to the power plants found in the C-130 Hercules and P-3 Orion), providing a cruising speed of 350 knots/650kmh at a altitude of 28,000 feet and carrying 80 passengers .
