EUROPEAN AIRLINE INDUSTRY: A COST ANALYSIS AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE EVAULATION

The European liberalization process introduced in the air industry has radically changed the conditions in which carriers operate in this market. The main objective of this paper is to study the cost structure of airlines, in order to evaluate how the liberalization process has affected the productive efficiency of European carriers. By studying the existence of economics to scale or cost complementarities, we try to predict how airlines will respond to the new framework set by the European Commission.
