The study team initiated work by conducting a review of the literature on code sharing and related topics such as transnational airline alliances, airline network economics, competition in the international airline industry, computer reservation systems, and other subjects relevant to the project. The study team also conducted outreach with U.S. and foreign airlines, U.S. government officials, and other knowledgeable and interested parties. In addition, the study team assessed the data and methods available to measure the impacts of international code sharing on airlines and consumers. The study team then developed a proposed methodology. This proposed methodology, along with the data available to apply it, was reviewed by DOT's Volpe National Transportation System Center on behalf of the project sponsor, the Office of Aviation and International Economics. The final methodology was submitted to the Office of Aviation and International Economics for approval. An important consideration in the methodology was the ability to examine the effects of code sharing prospectively, so that the DOT could use it to assess the effects of future proposals for code sharing.
