Air Transport: Review of the American Liberalization Experience and a Lesson for Europe
by Laurent Kenigswald
The complete liberalization of the European skies scheduled for 1 April 1997 should take the form of a substantial restructuring of the supply, a drop in prices and a stimulation of demand. These forecasts, shared by the vast majority of air transport specialists, are based on the analysis of the extensive changes made in the United States over more than fifteen years. Most of these changes can be transposed to the European market: greater choice, widening of the price range and decrease in average rates. The ways in which these changes are made could nevertheless differ from those observed in the United States. They will probably rely less on a reorganization of the networks into a hub and spoke system and more on a decrease in the costs of insufficiently competitive airlines. Although the assessment of the liberalization of the American skies is largely positive, the analysis reveals certain "failures" by the body in charge of regulating competition. The national regulatory authorities and the European Commission will have to avoid reproducing these errors, in particular by finding the means to effectively curb congestion in the sky and certain airports.
