Airline deregulation: twenty years of success and counting

Article Abstract:

The adoption of deregulatory measures in US airlines proved instrumental in making the country's aviation sector one of the most admired and promising industries in the world. Government intervention has not only created a plethora of traveling opportunities for Americans but also paved the way for the reduction of airline rates. These efforts have also been valuable in facilitating operations at major airlines. Recently, transportation officials are considering the imposition of maximum number of seats to be installed in airlines in order to allow start-up companies to compete aggressively with larger airlines.

Airline deregulation confronting the paradoxes

Article Abstract:

Airline deregulation has brought changes which benefited both the airline industry and the riding public as well as paradoxes. The hub and spoke delivery system was adopted as the standardized operating system for airlines. It increased growth in weekly flights from 60-70% for large and medium cities and 35-45% for small cities and small communities. Advanced technology was utilized in creating marketing schemes which promoted brand loyalty. This resulted in fewer carriers and high level of competition.

Railing at "open access:" proposals in the rail industry

Article Abstract:

Proposals for open access in the rail industry were raised following the success of deregulation after the Staggers Act was introduced. Railroads have improved financially, thus eventually forgetting the previous damages caused by misguided regulations. Although major railroads still have not achieved the level of earnings that will deal with long-term costs of changing its current system, the yearning to reach that goal is one proof that deregulation is working.
