Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1990s, global network airlines have enrolled in one of the three existing global alliances (GAL) namely the Sky-Team, Star Alliance and Oneworld. By 2011, the airlines in the alliance dominated over two-thirds of all international traffic. This research seeks to examine the legal and economic analysis, and consequent interpretation of airline alliances within civil aviation and how this affects fair competition. The evolution of global airline alliances is characterised by the analysis of their size, as well as the volume of the partnership and code-share agreement between the alliances. The findings of this study indicate that the aviation international regulatory framework recognises that these principles have thus far been enacted and applied throughout the legal and/or regulatory instruments. However, with the ever-expanding commercial aviation industry, the desire for business growth and regulatory framework are not always aligned. Airline alliances have proved to be cost-effective and efficient and enabled passengers to reach their designation on schedule. Furthermore, they have also enhanced fair competition in the airline industry with the result that the market now operates more effectively. This research recommends that airline alliances should be allowed, but that competition regulatory authorities must be empowered to scrutinise them and closely monitor the conditions imposed on the alliance to ensure the protection of the smaller players in the industry and any anti-competitive effects mitigated adequately. The regulatory competition bodies should lay out policies and procedures encouraging fair competition in the industry by seeking to eliminate unfair and procedurally flawed barriers and consideration given to the fundamental benefits to be enjoyed by the businesses and stakeholders alike in the formation and existence of these alliances.

Download or read book Fair Revenue Sharing Mechanisms for Strategic Passenger Airline Alliances written by Demet Çetiner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major problem arising in airline alliances is to design allocation mechanisms determining how the revenue of a product should be shared among the airlines. The nucleolus is a concept of cooperative game theory that provides solutions for allocating the cost or benefit of a cooperation. This work provides fair revenue proportions for the airline alliances based on the nucleolus, which assumes a centralized decision making system. The proposed mechanism is used as a benchmark to evaluate the fairness of the revenue sharing mechanisms, where the alliance partners behave selfishly. Additionally, a new selfish revenue allocation rule is developed that improves the performance of the existing methods.

Book excerpt: This dissertation constitutes two essays in the field of industrial organization. Specifically, the research focuses on empirically assessing the market effects of airline alliances. The first essay examines how codesharing, a form of strategic alliances, by airlines affects market entry decisions of potential competitors. Researchers have written extensively on the impact that strategic alliances between airlines have on airfare, but little is known of the market entry deterrent impact of strategic alliances. Using a structural econometric model, this essay examines the market entry deterrent impact of codesharing between incumbent carriers in U.S. domestic air travel markets. We find that a specific type of codesharing between market incumbents has a market entry deterrent effect to Southwest Airlines, but not other potential entrants. Furthermore, we quantify the extent to which market incumbents' codesharing influences market entry cost of potential entrants. The second essay examines the effects of granting Antitrust Immunity (ATI) to a group of airlines. Airline alliance partners often want to extend cooperation to revenue sharing, which effectively implies joint pricing of their products (explicit price collusion). To explicitly collude on price, airlines must apply to the relevant government authorities for ATI (U.S. Department of Justice and Department of Transportation in the case of air travel markets that have a U.S. airport as an endpoint), which effectively means an exemption from prosecution under the relevant antitrust laws. Whether consumers, on net, benefit from a grant of ATI to partner airlines has caused much public debate. This essay specifically investigates the impact of granting ATI to oneworld alliance members on their price, markup, and various measures of cost. The evidence suggests that the grant of ATI facilitated a decrease in partner carriers' marginal cost, and increased (decreased) their markup in markets where their service do (do not) overlap. Furthermore, member carriers' price did not change (decreased) in markets where their services do (do not) overlap, implying that consumers, on net, benefit in terms of price changes.

Download or read book Strategic Airline Alliances and Restrictions of Competition by Object Under EU Competition Law written by Ádám Remetei-Filep and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, the question is asked whether, in the light of the 'more economic approach' adopted in recent years, it is correct to classify metal-neutral revenue-sharing airline alliances as restrictive of competition by object and interpret this concept in a wider sense under Article 101(1) TFEU. By relying on the example and analysis of airline alliances and in particular metal-neutral revenue-sharing alliances, the thesis argues that the 'orthodox' or wider interpretation of restriction by object is correct and, as such, does not contradict the idea behind the more economic approach of EU competition law. However, the analysis of restriction by object has to take into account the effects of Article 101 TFEU as a whole, including Article 101(3) TFEU. Therefore this wider interpretation of object restrictions must be complemented by a realistic application of Article 101(3) TFEU, in order to achieve the desired outcome of an administrable and efficient enforcement regime that minimises error costs. This is a legal thesis. It will review the EU competition law approach to airline alliances and use the example of airline alliances to explore the issue of restriction by object and its interaction with Article 101(3) TFEU. The thesis examines both from an economic and legal point of view all those aspects of strategic alliances, air transport and strategic airline alliances that are essential for a thorough understanding of their characteristics when analysed under Article 101(1) and 101(3) TFEU. The research question concentrates on the dichotomy of Article 101 TFEU, and it is concluded that the experience of the aviation industry supports the thesis.

Download or read book Aviation Competitions written by Aaron Casey and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the implications of three alliances formed in 1998 by the six largest U.S. airlines, which account for nearly 70% of domestic airline traffic -- Northwest and Continental, Delta and United, and American and US Airways -- to cooperate on some aspects of their business. Critics maintain that the alliances will decrease competition, ultimately reducing passengers' choices and increasing fares. This report: describes the status of each of the alliances, examines the potential beneficial and harmful effects on consumers, and examines the authority of the Dep't. of Justice and Transportation to review these alliances and the status of their reviews.
Download or read book Airport Competition written by Peter Forsyth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The break-up of BAA and the blocked takeover of Bratislava airport by the competing Vienna airport have brought the issue of airport competition to the top of the agenda for air transport policy in Europe. Airport Competition reviews the current state of the debate and asks whether airport competition is strong enough to effectively limit market power. It provides evidence on how travellers chose an airport, thereby altering its competitive position, and on how airports compete in different regions and markets. The book also discusses the main policy implications of mergers and subsidies.
