Book excerpt: The last decade or so has seen major changes in the European airline industry. As regulation has loosened, the number of carriers active across the continent has greatly increased. In a marketplace previously dominated by a relatively small number of national flag carriers, many new operators have sprung up. Newly independent countries all have their own airlines, and a complete new sector has been added to the marketplace with the phenomenal rise, and occasional falls, of budget airlines across the continent. This book reflects these many changes. It provides a photographic record of primarily passenger-carrying airlines from 32 different European countries. Starting in Ireland on the west of the continent and continuing in a broadly easterly direction, the book explores the airlines which are based in each country. This grand tour of European civil aviation is conducted with color photographs accompanied by extended, detailed captions. The book is strong on the ever-changing image of the airlines and their passion for new and modified liveries, which can be confusing for those interested in the subject. The up-to-date coverage of current liveries will be of particular value to aviation modelers. With the decline in the number of new military aircraft entering service since the end of the Cold War, many aviation enthusiasts have renewed their interest in the world of civil aviation. There is also a broader public interest in the sector as more and more of us use airlines more regularly. This book provides a good general survey of the airlines and airliners presently operating in Europe. It will be an attractive and colorful book, which will attract a wider distribution and sale than many of the more specialist military and historical aviation titles on the market.
Download or read book EU Law on State Aid to Airlines written by Magnus Schmauch and published by Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2012 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State intervention in air transport is omnipresent. Airlines, in particular, are major beneficiaries of State aid. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the law regulating State aids to airlines, which includes sections on Articles 107 TFEU and 108 TFEU as well as an overview of legal issues raised by air transport and competition in the EU, in particular deregulation and its consequences. EU Law on State Aid to Airlines follows a multi-disciplinary approach by relying on the fundamental concepts of economics and policy analysis. This approach allows grasping the wider implications of this sector's issues for the field of State Aid, in particular in the light of the 'more economic approach' and the 'balancing test'. Furthermore, additional perspective is given on State aid law in the air transport sector through comparative analyses of regulations in the United States and Switzerland and outlooks on international relations. Finally, the book presents a number of recent Commission decisions with a dramatic importance for the air transport, with the opening of formal investigation procedures regarding alleged State aid to low-cost airlines operating from regional airports all over Europe. Magnus Schmauch is Legal Secretary at the EFTA Court in the Chambers of judge Pall Hreinsson. Previous experience includes four years as a lawyer at the Court of Justice of the European Union. He has published a large number of articles on State aid and other fields of EU law and teaches on EU law and fundamental rights at the University of Lund, Sweden.
Download or read book European Aviation Law written by Paul Stephen Dempsey and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a byword for the economic power of national government - with competition strictly regulated - European commercial aviation has now virtually become a market without state-imposed anticompetitive restrictions. Although intended to enhance competition, this situation has in fact driven airlines to form massive global alliances cartels that offer ever-shrinking benefits to the consumer. In this extraordinarily thorough, blow-by-blow analysis of how this happened ? or was allowed to happen ? one of the world?s most eminent aviation law authorities explores the subject with a lucid insight fully informed by historical breadth and a keen appreciation of current pressures. Commercial aviation emerges as the crucible par excellence of the convergence of prevailing global ideology, economics, and international law. Among the numerous interrelated topics investigated in depth by Professor Dempsey, the following may be mentioned: the principal actors, including scores of airlines, the European Union, and a number of air transport associations; the labyrinth of bilateral air transport agreements; the relevance of the Treaty of Rome?s competition rules and the EU merger regulations to air transport; the important Court of Justice cases that circumscribed the zone of application in which the competition rules can regulate air transport: French Seamen?s Case, Transport Policy Decision, Olympic Airway, Nouvelles Fronti?res, Ahmed Saeed, and the 2002 `Open Skies? Decision; the 1991 U.S.-EC agreement regarding the application of competition laws; the sequence of EU aviation regulatory `packages?; regulation of non-economic issues (air traffic congestion, noise limitations, air carrier liability, civil aviation accident/incident investigations, denied boarding compensation); the effect of the U.S. government?s increasing invocation of antitrust immunity; computer reservation systems (especially code-sharing procedures); jointly-owned web sites for ticket sales and other e-commerce joint ventures; frequent flyer program alliances; and the emergence of global megacarriers. The author?s presentation emphasizes the regulatory constructs that currently affect the European air transport market: pricing and tariffs, pooling of revenue, market access (licensing, capacity limits, traffic rights, slot allocation), ground handlings, cargo services, state aid, and the power of the EU to act on the commercial aviation world stage for Member States. Each of these areas of analysis begins with an overview of the general regulatory environment for that area followed by a detailed chronological delineation of relevant packages, proposals, resolutions, and regulations. Because of the enormous role played by international air transport with respect to gross national product, employment, and energy consumption, European Aviation Law is of great importance not only to European lawyers but to officials, policymakers, practitioners, and academics in a number of relevant fields worldwide.
Download or read book Airline Network Development in Europe and its Implications for Airport Planning written by Guillaume Burghouwt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ongoing deregulation and liberalization of worldwide air transport markets confronts airport planners with an increasingly problematic context. On the one hand, the capital intensive, large-scale and complex airport investments need a detailed, long/medium-term planning of airport infrastructure. Such planning requires at least predictable traffic volumes (and traffic composition) within the planning horizon. On the other hand, airline route networks are increasingly dynamic structures that frequently show discontinuous changes. As a consequence, the much more volatile airport traffic restricts the value of detailed traffic forecasts. Volatility of airport traffic and its composition requires flexibility of airport strategies and planning processes. The book explores this dilemma through a detailed study of airline network development, airport connectivity and airport planning in the deregulated EU air transport market. The questions the book seeks to answer are: · how have airlines responded to the regime changes in EU aviation with respect to the configuration of their route networks? · what has been the impact of the reconfiguration of airline network configurations for the connectivity of EU airports? · how can airport planners and airport authorities deal with the increasingly uncertain airline network behaviour in Europe?

Download or read book Entry barriers into the European Civil Aviation markets written by Mirko Schnell and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 1999-02-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The contestability hypothesis has extensively been tested for the liberalised US airline markets. Entry barriers render US airline markets non-contestable. However, these studies do not allow an empirically based conclusion whether entry barriers are differently effective in preventing entry. Moreover, since previous studies exhibit no intra-firm perspective, they cannot ascertain whether a particular entry impediment prevents entry equally effective irrespective of potential entrant's characteristics. Comparable studies about the recently liberalised European airline markets are not available. This study fills these gaps by investigating European airline managers' perception of entry barriers. It turn out that some barriers are perceived to be significantly more effective than others. The perception of the effectiveness of a certain entry barrier, however, varies considerably among airline managers. Airlines' and respondents' characteristics contribute to explain this variance. Einleitung: Diese Arbeit untersucht mit Hilfe einer eigenen erhobenen empirischen Basis die Existenz von Markteintrittsbarrieren im europäischen Passagierluftverkehr nach dessen vollständiger Liberalisierung im Jahre 1997. Als Markteintrittsbarrieren werden alle Charakteristika eines an sich gewinnträchtigen Streckenmarktes betrachtet, die eine Fluggesellschaft davon abhalten, in diesen Markt einzutreten. Folgende Forschungsfragen werden beantwortet: - Welche Markteintrittsbarrieren nehmen europäische Fluggesellschaften wahr? - Sind alle Markteintrittsbarrieren aus Sicht der europäischen Airlines gleich wirksam? - Betrachten alle europäischen Fluggesellschaften eine bestimmte Markteintrittsbarriere als gleich wirksam und worauf sind mögliche Unterschiede zurückzuführen? Gang der Untersuchung: Kapitel 1 gibt eine kurze Einführung in die Problemstellung des Themas und definiert die verwendeten Begrifflichkeiten. Kapitel 2 stellt den bereits in den Literatur zugänglichen Wissensstand dar. Zunächst diskutiert es die Grundlagen der Theorie des bestreitbaren Marktes ( contestability theory ). Die praktische Bedeutung von Markteintrittsbarrieren für die Qualität des Wettbewerbs wird verdeutlicht. Anschließend werden die Forschungsmethode und Ergebnisse von 29 Studien zum Test der Contestability Hypothese im nordamerikanischen Luftverkehr vorgestellt. Fast alle dieser Studien weisen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen aufgrund von Markteintrittsbarrieren in [...]

Download or read book The inclusion of aviation in the European Emission Trading Scheme Analyzing the scope of impact on the aviation industry written by Vincent Schade and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant volume of literature already exists concerning the inclusion of aviation in the EU-ETS. Most of the research laid its focus on specific industry levels such as the individual airline, the aviation industry in general or macroeconomic aspects. In this context, these studies tried to anticipate market reactions triggered by the EU-ETS by analyzing specific issues such as the financial impact on airlines, changes in competitive behavior or implications for the overall industry development. As a consequence, the existing studies took only a limited market view and made assumptions about expected developments in specific fields of the aviation industry. However, at the time of writing this thesis, conclusions about the scope of impact could hardly be drawn from existing impact assessments because of the wide range of issues that exceeded the scope of most impact studies. Hence, a broader research approach is needed which takes different analytical perspectives to describe the scope of impact of the EU-ETS and depict potential effects for the aviation industry.

Download or read book Liberalizing Europe s Skies A Failure An Analysis of Airline Entry and Exit in the Post liberalized German Airline Market 1993 2006 written by Nicole Petrick-Felber and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2014-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examines actual entry and exit dynamics in the German airline market in light of the European liberalization process. For this purpose, flight schedules data was used to derive entry and exit statistics for a set of chosen inner-German routes over a period of thirteen years. Data was analysed in cross-sectional and longitudinal manner while identifying different entry waves and examining incumbent behaviour with respect to entry deterrence strategies. Furthermore, the market’s concentration and structure was tracked to allow a conclusion with respect to the market’s contestability after liberalization. The results suggest the existence of remaining structural barriers to entry and depict a rather unsatisfactory overall state of the post liberalized market.
Download or read book Wings Across Europe written by Kenneth Button and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airlines, like most industries, contain a mixture of good and badly managed companies (and perhaps more important, lucky and unlucky companies). More important in the longer-run is the institutional structure in which the companies offer their services. Air transport is a major industry in its own right. But it is also the fastest growing mode of transport for both passengers and freight, a large employer of labour, at the forefront of many technological developments and often a pioneer in adopting such innovations. It is the source of important economic stimuli for local economic development. This book examines the current state of European airlines - mainly, but not exclusively, those within the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). It seeks in particular to determine if the current institutional structure provides a sustainable basis for the continued vitality of air transport as a facilitator of economic development, and it can serve as an input into wider matters involving the social and political integration within Europe. It also includes material on airports, slots and security. It provides the opportunity to look at factors that currently influence the efficiency of European airlines and to see how the industry has moved to meet these challenges. The book is also designed to be accessible with a glossary at the end, definitions of key terms and concepts, a list of abbreviations and acronyms and two annexes that provide more details of the European air transport market within the wider international regulatory system. The readership includes all concerned with airline and airport management, including regulators and government departments of transportation, and researchers in air transport. While of main interest to those in Europe, it is also important to all who are dealing with similar questions in other continents, and all concerned with inter-continental air transport provision. In the current aviation context the key features of the book are: "
Download or read book International and EU Aviation Law written by Elmar Maria Giemulla and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an extraordinary wealth of information, from the ground up, of the law governing and regulating air transport today, with a strong emphasis on international aviation. A team of distinguished authors in the field of aviation law provide a cogent synthesis from which sound legal opinions and strategies of legal action may be confidently built. Among the many topics here in depth are the following: definition and classification of airspace; distinction between civil and state aircraft; air navigation and air traffic control services; airport charges and overflight charges; structure of ICAO; standard-setting functions and audit functions of ICAO; functions of the International Air Transport Association (IATA); policy and effects of deregulation and liberalization of air transport policy; the International Registry for Aircraft Equipment; air carrier liability regimes and claims procedure; measures to combat aviation terrorism, air piracy and sabotage; and the Open Skies Agreements. This publication cites significant legislation and court rulings, including from the United States and the European Union, where far-reaching measures on market access, competition and passenger rights have set trends for other regions of the world. The special case of Latin America has a chapter to itself. At a time when commercial aircraft have been used as lethal weapons for the first time, aviation law finds itself in the front line of responsibility for maintaining global aviation security.

Download or read book Beyond Open Skies written by Brian F. Havel and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 750 pages. 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.
