THE THIRD PACKAGE OF LIBERALIZATION IN THE EUROPEAN AIR TRANSPORT SECTOR: SHYING AWAY FROM FULL LIBERALIZATION

The creation of a Single European Market for the air transport sector in the European Community (EC) is viewed by many as one of the most difficult challenges before the EC, and is indicative of the commitment of the member states to a Europe without frontiers. EC air transport liberalization has been gradually implemented through the adoption of three separate Packages of legislation over a period of five years, with the delivery of the First Package in 1987, the Second Package in 1990, and the Third Package in 1992 coinciding with the Single European Act's general goal of achieving a Europe without frontiers. This paper focuses on the Third Package of liberalization regulations in the EC air transport sector, its potential effects and abuses, and the obstacles which remain to the development of free competition in the air transport sector. In particular, the focus is on market access to routes and slots, air fares, and the anti-competitive practices which concern them.
