Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the financial condition of the airline industry, focusing on the: (1) causes of financial distress; and (2) options for reversing the trends and promoting competition. GAO found that: (1) high debt levels and the high costs of overcoming operating and marketing practices have weakened the financial condition of several carriers and limited competition; (2) the airline industry estimated a record loss of $2 billion in 1990, due primarily to economic decline, the rise in fuel prices, and reduced demand resulting from the terrorism threat; (3) increased regulatory and legislative requirements will cost the airline industry at least $1 billion over the next 4 years to replace and renovate older aircraft; (4) if several carriers ceased operations, competition could be significantly reduced and increase the need to implement further action to enhance the industry's competitive balance; (5) improving carriers' access to airports and reducing the marketing advantages of dominant carriers could help relieve some of the competitive problems and enhance the financial health of some of the weaker carriers; and (6) reregulating fares and routes and allowing an increased level of foreign investment in U.S. carriers could run counter to the intentions of deregulation and would require further analysis before implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the financial condition of the airline industry and its effects on competition. GAO noted that: (1) high debt levels increased substantially for some carriers between 1980 and 1990; (2) some carriers' operating and marketing practices prevented other carriers from competing effectively; (3) such short-term problems as the recession and high fuel prices worsened some carriers' financial problems; (4) financial problems threatened the survival of several carriers; (5) future investment demands for replacing and renovating aircraft could impose further financial strains; and (6) if additional carriers failed to survive the recession, competition would be adversely affected. In addition, GAO noted that several policy incentives could promote competition and financial health by: (1) reducing the price of jet fuel; (2) allowing airlines to retain revenues from the airline ticket tax; (3) reregulation of fares; (4) opening U.S. airlines to more foreign investment; (5) improving access to airports; and (6) reducing barriers resulting from marketing practices. GAO also noted that further delay by the Department of Transportation in considering such reforms may render them ineffective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Beyond Open Skies' offers a systematic comparative analysis of the legal and policy dimensions of airline deregulation by federal fiat in the United States and by supranational collaboration in the European Union. The book draws upon a variety of sources, including very recent developments in U.S. and EC international aviation law, policy, and diplomacy, to propose a genuine multilateral air transport system. It examines the potential of the 'open skies' initiative, in the aftermath of the new U.S./EC air transport agreement, to inspire a genuine globalization of the world's air transport industry in such crucial aspects as the following: cabotage; ownership and citizenship requirements; route selection; airline identity; capacity; pricing regimes; competition and public aid; regulatory harmonization; labor laws; provisions for charter and/or cargo transportation; fair operation of and access to computer reservations systems; authorization of code-sharing arrangements; alliances and antitrust immunity; and dispute resolution.
