REPORT TO THE


           CE- 7Z7RESS


CONGRESS


BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


OF THE UNITED STATES


Lower Airline Costs Per

Passenger Are Possible In

The United States And Could

Result In Lower Fares


Civil Aeronautics Board


Airlines in the United States regulated by the
Civil Aeronautics Board could have operated
at a lower total cost per passenger than they
did from 1969 to 1974, and passenger fares
could have been lower as a result. GAO esti-
mates that travelers could have saved over a
billion dollars annually if regulated airlines
had operated with characteristics of less regu-
lated airlines.
Accordingly, GAO recommends that two
things be done:J
    --The Civil Aeronautics Board should
    work toward improving airline efficien-
    cy under existing legislation.
    --The Congress should provide the Civil
    Aeronautics Board legislative guidance
    defining current national objectives for
    air transportation and the extent to
    which increased competition should be
    used to achieve those objectives. FE.   '   ,   7 1
