Civil Aviation in the 22 Member States of ECAC has grown enormously during the last 30 years, contributing to the economy and employment in the area in many ways. But in comparison with the U.S.A., European carriers are not as successful at earning money from traffic within Europe as the Americans were with their domestic traffic before the deregulation policy.
A reason for this is seen to be in the difference of the net structure. A reorganization of the individual spoke‐nets in Europe into an integrated grid would lower the total system length and lead to better load factors and reduced costs to carriers.
The author proposes a net of 20 lines for scheduled services connecting important cities. He discusses whether an establishment of a single company for intra‐European traffic is better than a deregulation policy giving market powers the possibility of allocating factors or not. In the end the author decides that it is more effective to begin installing competition in some air markets under the supervision of an European Council and to continue on this way step by step.
