Book excerpt: Prior to deregulation, the consensus among many economists was that removal of governmental barriers to entry and pricing for airlines would result in a healthy competitive environment, one perhaps approaching that of perfect competition. Destructive competition, whose purported existence gave birth to regulation of these two industries in the 1930s, was deemed unlikely to occur. It was predicted that concentration was highly unlikely, for new entry would keep the industry hotly competitive. Transportation, however, has turned out not to be the ideal model of perfect competition that many proponents of deregulation insisted it was. There appear to be significant economies of scale, scope and density, and economic barriers to entry in the airline industry. Widespread bankruptcies and mergers have reduced the number of competitors to the point that major oligopolies now exist. Large airlines now dominate the infrastructure of airports, their gates and landing slots, as well as computer reservations systems. The theory of contestable markets served as a major intellectual justification for deregulation. The theory posits that if a monopolist or oligopolist begins to earn supracompetitive profits, new competitive entry, or the threat thereof, will restore pricing competition. If incumbents raise rates above competitive levels, new entrants would be attracted like sharks to the smell of blood. The theory is premised upon the belief that economic barriers to entry and economies of scale in the airline industry are relatively modest. Even the threat of entry would be sufficient to discipline the market and restore the competitive equilibrium. Contestability has not served as a significant competitive catalyst in the deregulated airline industry, and has since been abandoned by the Justice Department, which now regulates airline mergers. Because of formidable barriers to entry, many airlines are now able to exert market power in the markets which they dominate. With the creation of frequent flyer programs, travel agent commission overrides, and megacarrier dominance in fortress hubs and computer reservations systems, the entry of new carriers is highly unlikely today. In a situation where market power exists, prices rise and the level of service can deteriorate; excessive wealth is transferred from consumers to producers, and society's resources are misallocated. As consumers purchase alternative products or services it costs society more to produce.
Download or read book Competition versus Predation in Aviation Markets written by Peter Forsyth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to liberalization, there was little scope for predatory behaviour in the aviation market. However, following deregulation, new entrants sought to compete with entrenched incumbents. Low-cost carriers (LCCs) gained significant market share, which in turn provoked many different kinds of defensive response. Having put pressure on established carriers, low-cost airlines are themselves feeling the pressure of competition from new operators. While it is normal and natural for airlines to react to competition - modifying their services, the ways in which they offer them and their prices - when does aggressive commercial behaviour go too far and become predation? This book considers what exactly is meant by 'predation' in the aviation environment, and explores the strategies LCCs adopt in order to gain market share, as well as the strategies of the established airlines in response to competition from new entrants to the market. It also addresses the key question of what competition policy should do to ensure intensive competition. Competition versus Predation in Aviation Markets brings together contributions from around the world, from airlines, government agencies, leading academics and consultants, providing a wealth of perspectives on a business practice crucial to airline survival.

This book was released on 2005-07-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evolution of the US Airline Industry discusses the evolution of the hub-and-spoke network system and the associated price discrimination strategy, as the post-deregulation dominant business model of the major incumbent airlines and its breakdown in the early 2000s. It highlights the role that aircraft – as a production input – and the aircraft manufacturers' strategy have played in shaping this dominant business model in the 1990s. Fierce competition between Airbus and Boeing and plummeting new aircraft prices in the early 2000s have fueled low-cost competition of unprecedented scope, that destroyed the old business model. The impact of the manufacturers' strategy on these trends has been overlooked by industry observers, who have traditionally focused on the demand for air travel and labor costs as the most critical elements in future trends and survivability of major network airlines. The book debates the impact and merit of government regulation of the industry. It examines uncertainty, information problems, and interest group structures that have shaped environmental and safety regulations. These regulations disregard market signals and deviate from standard economic principles of social efficiency and public interest. The Evolution of the US Airline Industry also debates the applicability of traditional antitrust analysis and policies, which conflict with the complex dynamics of real-life airline competition. It questions the regulator's ability to interpret industry conduct in real time, let alone predict or change its course towards a "desirable" direction. The competitive response of the low-cost startup airlines surprised many antitrust proponents, who believed the major incumbent airlines practically blocked significant new entry. This creative market response, in fact, destroyed the major incumbents' power to discriminate pricing – a task the antitrust efforts failed to accomplish.
