Abstract The rapid growth in regional services has important implications for airline competition. Regional airlines perform a crucial role in feeding traffic on to trunk routes. US experience of deregulation suggests that through passengers gain while local passengers lose, but that overall there is a net benefit to travellers to/from small communities in the regions. Passenger preferences are likely to mean jets being substituted for turbo-props, even though the latter are very often cheaper to fly. In Europe airport capacity limitations are likely to constrain the operation of regional services to/from the major hubs; and there are other reasons to suggest that the changes that took place in North America will not be replicated to the same extent in Europe. Partnerships between major and regional airlines constitute serious impediments to free and open competition, and entry barriers to feeder markets may ultimately prove to be more harmful than restrictions on the number of carriers serving individual point-to-point routes.
