SECRETARY'S TASK FORCE ON COMPETITION IN THE U.S. DOMESTIC AIR INDUSTRY. AIRPORTS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, AND RELATED CONCERNS. (IMPACT ON ENTRY)
The study examines the influence of airport and air traffic control related issues on competition in the airline industry. Conducted as a part of a broader assessment of airline competition since deregulation, the study includes consideration of airport capacity (including the slot allocation program), air traffic control system capacity, airport groundside facilities, environmental restrictions, and fleet availability . The analysis considers how airspace, airport, and related factors may result in a barrier to entry as a service provider in a particular air market. Ranking the barriers considered, it appears that gate availability and slot allocation programs may restrict entry into specific markets. The other factors considered appeared to be relatively minor concerns. Using these guidelines, eight airports show serious potential competitive concerns: Chicago O'Hare, Kennedy and LaGuardia in New York, Washington National, Dallas/Fort Worth, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia.
