US domestic air transport was deregulated in the belief that an efficient, innovative and low priced system would be produced by placing a maximum reliance on actual or potential competition. However, the US Airline Deregulation Act did foresee that in some circumstances excessive market dominance might develop and also that there was a need to maintain and, if necessary, subsidise service to small communities. In addition, the legislation recognized a continuing need for the co-ordination of air transport between airlines. Against this background, an examination of the US system raises the following questions: What light has been shed on the nature of airline competition. What has been the effect on users and airlines. In particular, have innovation and efficiency increased. To what extent have the difficulties which were foreseen materialized and have any other problems surfaced. Although this publication does examine the general questions posed above in the context of the USA, the chief emphasis is on those aspects of the US experience which strike chords with market structures, policies and developments in the UK.
