The airline industry has been regulated in three major areas: market entry and exit, rates, and air safety. All three areas of regulatory responsibility came into existence with the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938. The principal competitive factors in the airline industry are fare pricing, customer service, routes served, flight schedules, types of aircraft, safety record and reputation, code‐sharing relationships, in‐flight entertainment systems, and frequent flyer programs. Airline industry employee unions are governed by the Railway Labor Act of 1926, which permits Congress to intervene in the negotiation or settlement of strikes that create a national emergency by threatening to cripple the transportation industry. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates certain aspects of operations, including airline operations, in the United States. Among other things, airlines are subject to the following federal environmental protection laws: Clean Air Act; Clean Water Act; and Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990.
