  • Analysis of the Effects of Air Transport Liberalisation on the Domestic Market in Japan
    Chikage Miyoshi Analysis Of The Effects Of Air Transport Liberalisation On The Domestic Market In Japan COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis Academic year 2006-2007 Chikage Miyoshi Analysis of the effects of air transport liberalisation on the domestic market in Japan Supervisor: Dr. G. Williams May 2007 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University 2007. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner Abstract This study aims to demonstrate the different experiences in the Japanese domestic air transport market compared to those of the intra-EU market as a result of liberalisation along with the Slot allocations from 1997 to 2005 at Haneda (Tokyo international) airport and to identify the constraints for air transport liberalisation in Japan. The main contribution of this study is the identification of the structure of deregulated air transport market during the process of liberalisation using qualitative and quantitative techniques and the provision of an analytical approach to explain the constraints for liberalisation. Moreover, this research is considered original because the results of air transport liberalisation in Japan are verified and confirmed by Structural Equation Modelling, demonstrating the importance of each factor which affects the market. The Tokyo domestic routes were investigated as a major market in Japan in order to analyse the effects of liberalisation of air transport. The Tokyo routes market has seven prominent characteristics as follows: (1) high volume of demand, (2) influence of slots, (3) different features of each market category, (4) relatively low load factors, (5) significant market seasonality, (6) competition with high speed rail, and (7) high fares in the market.
