Based on a non-parametric, structural equation modelling framework, this paper compares a set of highly congested US and European airports in order to assess the impact of approaches on overall social welfare, considering airline and airport surplus and passenger welfare. This paper discusses...

Nachfragebedingte Verkehrsprobleme an grossen Flughäfen verursachen aufgrund von Externalitäten nach wie vor ungerechtfertigt hohe Verspätungskosten für Passagiere und Fluggesellschaften. Die administrative Allokation von Flughafenzugangsrechten wird daher in vielen Studien als ineffizient...

Der Luftverkehr wächst weltweit seit Jahrzehnten. Dieses Wachstum setzt sich fort, aber gleichzeitig steckt die Branche in Deutschland und Europa aufgrund von Deregulierung und freiem Marktzugang in einem Strukturwandel, der durch Rationalisierungen bei Strecken und Personal, steigender...

Using annual data on individual US airlines over the 1995-2015 period, this paper presents regression results relating an airline's total fuel usage to seven variables: the available ton miles of capacity (passengers plus freight and mail) provided by the airline; the average seat capacity of its...

We posit and empirically test the hypothesis that airlines are able to charge a fare premium in markets that originate in their domestic country relative to similar markets that originate in foreign countries. To this end, we focus on intercontinental one-stop air travel trips for which the...

The aviation industry changed dramatically in the wake of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. My paper looks at an element of this transformation - the policy according to which take off and landing slots were allocated at congested airports including a proposal to change this policy - an...

Current state of the air transport sectors -- The global airline industry / John F. ÓConnell -- The air cargo industry / Rico Merkert and David Alexander -- The airport industry / Lucy Budd and Stephen Ison -- Air traffic management and air navigation service providers / Marc Bourgois, Eduardo...

This paper mainly studies the effect of deregulation on prices and quantity. For this aim, we employ cointegration methodology with structural breaks to empirically investigate the simultaneous relationship between deregulation, ticket prices, and the number of passengers in the Turkish airline...

Frequent Flier Programs (FFPs) are said to impact airline consumer behaviour such that revenue of sponsoring airlines increases. Prior research relies on aggregate industry data to study FFPs. We examine the impact of FFPs on individual consumer behaviour in a quasi-natural experimental set-up...
