This book studies the insights driving airline fares and their time variations both in theory and in practice. Part I first explains the dynamics of airline pricing and the reasons of price dispersion, then it studies how the pattern of airline fares, which resemble the shape of a J-curve, can be affected by the extent of competition. Thereafter part II is devoted to an empirical application using posted fares of the main carriers of the UK-Ireland airline market. The author first offers a brief description of the market and then presents a graphical analysis to reproduce with real posted fares the pattern of airline pricing throughout the booking period. Finally he conducts an econometric investigation on the effect of market structure on price dispersion of airline fares. The book is written to appeal to both practitioners and readers willing to understand how airline fares evolve throughout the booking period and how their pattern can be affected by extent of competition. Furthermore, because its application focuses on the UK-Ireland airline market, this book also targets those interested in the Aer Lingus vs Ryanair competition case.

This book presents an original empirical investigation of the market structure of airline city pair markets, shedding new light on the workings of competitive processes between firms. Examining a cross-section of US airline city pairs, Tabacco proposes for the first time that the industry can be understood as a natural oligopoly, each airline market being dominated by one to three airline carriers regardless of market size. The author questions the extent to which airlines deliberately prevent head-to-head competition within city pair markets, and draws intriguing conclusions about competitive forces from the observed market structure. Uncovering some of the main corporate strategies of the airline industry, the book is of immediate relevance to industry managers and practitioners, as well as academic economists.

Braniff International Airways was an American airline that existed from 1928 until 1982. It operated in the midwestern and southwestern U.S., South America, Panama, and in its later years, Asia and Europe. The airline ceased operations on May 12, 1982, due to factors including escalating fuel prices, aggressive and unsustainable expansion, and fierce competition following changes that resulted from the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978.

Welcome to the exciting world of airline and airport operations! Airline and Airport Operations enhances the importance of the air transportation industry. In a rapidly changing environment, airlines and airports have to adapt to economic, technological, and market changes in addition to airline deregulation and other market trends. This book explains many factors which present the significant effects on the way airlines and airports do business, not only from a financial perspective but also from an operational standpoint. In these challenging times, with emerging competition from other airlines and airports, as well as other modes of transportation, it is of the utmost importance that airlines and airports provide their personnel with the best available knowledge and skills explained in this book. Besides, it was written to provide the readers with a solid overview of the airline and airport operations field and with tools to apply the knowledge and skills to the industry. Most importantly, this book is useful for helping airline managers and airport authorities to make better decisions to survive in this competitive industry.

The debate on the future of the aviation sector and the viability of its traditional business practices is the core of this book. The liberalization of the EU market in the 1990s has radically modi?ed the competitive environment and the nature of airline competition. Furthermore, the new millennium began with terrorist attacks, epidemics, trade globalization, and the rise of oil prices, all of which combined to push the industry into a "perfect storm". Airline industry pro?tability has been an elusive goal for several decades and the recent events has only accentuated existing weaknesses. The main concern of ind- try observers is whether the airline business model, successful during the 1980s and 1990s, is now sustainable in a market crowded by low-cost carriers. The airlines that will respond rapidly and determinedly to increase pressure to restructure, conso- date and segment the industry will achieve competitive advantages. In this context, the present study aims to model the new conduct of the 'legacy' carriers in a new liberalized European market in terms of network and pricing competition with l- cost carriers and competitive reaction to the global economic crises.
