The executive summary of a major assessment commissioned by the Secretary of Transportation to examine the state of airline competition is presented. It looked at the structure and service network of the airline industry, airport and air traffic control system impediments to new carriers entering new markets, regional air service, airline passenger fares, airline marketing practices, and international airline service. The assessment shows that air travelers have benefited from the changes brought about under deregulation by receiving more service at a lower cost. Air service networks have expanded, providing more departure frequencies to more airports and travel markets. The wide use of discount fares has made it possible for more people to afford air travel. However, some pockets of problems were observed.
