A Study on the Impact of Competition on Airport Congestion

2009
Talks

Abstract

Air transportation in the US is increasingly faced with the problem of airport congestion: airlines tend to over-schedule to attract market share and revenue. Unfortunately, the airlines share a limited resource - airport capacity. The underlying question we answer is whether competition can force the airlines to voluntarily adapt their schedules, due to high delay costs, thus reducing congestion, or if competition regulatory measures by a central authority are required.

Congestion pricing

Congestion pricing or congestion charges is a system of surcharging users of public goods that are subject to congestion through excess demand, such as through higher peak charges for use of bus services, electricity, metros, railways, telephones, and road pricing to reduce traffic congestion; airlines and shipping companies may be charged higher fees for slots at airports and through canals at busy times. Advocates claim this pricing strategy regulates demand, making it possible to manage congestion without increasing supply.

Airline

An airline is a company that provides air transport services for traveling passengers and/or freight. Airlines use aircraft to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for codeshare agreements, in which they both offer and operate the same flight. Generally, airline companies are recognized with an air operating certificate or license issued by a governmental aviation body. Airlines may be scheduled or charter operators. The first airline was the German airship company DELAG, founded on November 16, 1909.
