A summary of an effort to examine the airline industry and its route structure for the years 1979, 1984, and 1988 to assess the changes in service competition is presented. This is accomplished by evaluating the observed changes in service structure and quality at individual airports and in travel markets in terms of recognized measures of service competition. Industry-wide measures for all three years studied show carrier concentration increasing at larger airports and decreasing at smaller airports. At the same time, the great expansion in the number of points served by each of the major carriers and the integration of service between points through connecting hubs resulted in greatly increased competition in city-pair markets. The frequency of service at the majority of points is up, and three out of four points large enough to support 40 seat aircraft have had service improvements.
