The Changing Airline Industry:

A Status Report Through 1981





S nce passage of the Airline Deregulation
A t of 1978, the passenger airline industry
h s experienced greater operating freedoms
a well as changing economic conditions.
G O0s review, which is essentially a snap-
s ot of airline operations before and after
d regulation through 1981, shows that
  --traffic increased, but 1978 and 1979
    gains were significantly reduced by
    1980 and 1981 declines;

  --fares increased at a lower rate than
    airline costs;
  --higher 1978 and 1979 industry rates
    of return on investment declined in
    1980 and 1981;

  --significant 1978 and 1979 productiv-
    ity gains were severely eroded in 1980
    and 1981 by declining load factors;
  --weekly departures for larger communi-
    ties increased, but fewer seats were
    available for most communities; and
  --safety was not adversely affected.
