To compete successfully in short haul markets under 200 miles, an air transport system must offer a high daily frequency of service, N, as well as short air travel times. In a given market, N can be increased by using vehicles of smaller seat capacity, C, which are more expensive perseat to operate. A method of determining optimal values of N and C for assumed market behavior in terms of fare and time elasticities is presented. (Author)
