WHAT KILLED THE GOOSE: DECLINE OF NORTH ATLANTIC AIR PROFITS

The decline in profits from air traffic operations over the North Atlantic is discussed. Factors contributing to the decline are identified and recommendations are made for controlling the numbers of new carriers, controlling charter flight prices, reaching bilateral agreements on capacity, increasing fares and eliminating low fares, and for new cost related fare structures and product developments to be introduced. An alternative approach based on subsidies is also considered.
