REGIONAL AIR CARRIER STUDY

The purpose of this report is to review and document the changes that have occurred since 1966 in the operations of the Regional Air Carriers. The intent is not only to provide a description of the developments over the first decade, but also to identify the underlying problems encountered under the Regional Air Carrier Policy. The report deals with almost every aspect of the Regional Air Carrier Industry: its regulations; its competitive relationship with National and Third-Level Carriers; the extent of subsidies; trends in revenue, costs, traffic and productivity; the kind of products offered and markets served. The report furthermore attempts to identify the important problems the carriers were faced with in the 1960's and those that they might be facing in the 1970's. /Author/
