The ratio of fuel oil to the total cost of the air lines was increased to about 20 percent from 10 percent at the turning point in the first oil crisis in 1973 to 1974. Then, the rate was reduced down to about 15 percent by energy conservation measures. The second oil crisis in the period 1979 to 1981 turned this down trend upward to 30 percent or more. While the crude oil price is down and stable at low levels, the rate has been fluctuating at high price levels. In the U.S., where the airline rate has already been decontrolled, the airline service control relaxation law went into effect in 1978, which shook 229 airlines in 1984 down to 97 in March 1986. The merging of airline companies is still going on. After the 1990's, 130- to 180-seated medium sized aircraft are expected to be replaced on a large scale. The A320 will be put into commission in 1989 and the YXX/B.7J7 (150-seated) in 1992. These aircraft are forerunners of energy-saving, low-contamination aircraft. For a period before 1990 or so, there will be no other adequate measures than to provide the existing aircraft with energy-saving means. In this regard, it is essential to know the actual conditions. The data given here is limited, compared to that for Japan. Now the effort of improvement in the U.S. airlines has come to a certain stable stage. A view is shown under this circumstance.
