AN OPTIMAL PRICING POLICY FOR SCHEDULED AIR CARRIERS OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC

The economic impact of the present system of international airline fare regulations of both consumers and carriers is analysed. Direct and indirect operating cost functions are derived for carriers operating on the North Atlantic route. It is concluded that the present structure is not optimal and leads to a misallocation of resources. Alternative pricing structures are suggested and assessed.
