Effects of Airline Deregulation on Air Fares and Service in North Dakota

Initially following passage of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 air fares from North Dakota increased substantially more than industry-wide fares. However, from 1982 to 1984 North Dakota fares stabilized somewhat relative to fares from Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston. This paper analyzes the changes in air fares from North Dakota between 1982 and 1984 and changes in airline service between July 1978 and July 1983. It is concluded that loss of service appears to be a greater problem facing North Dakota than air fare increases. In 1983 the state had 108 fewer departures per week and 8,646 fewer seats per week compared to 1978.
