Abstract

The deregulation of the airline industry in the United States in the late 1970's has created more competition between airline companies. Many studies have been done regarding the changes to the industry since deregulation, but little research exists regarding the relationship between airfares, travel distance and route competition. In an effort to discover the relationship between these variables a series of analyses are performed using various statistical models as well as a comparison of the United States airspace to the European Union airspace (a regulated system). In this thesis it was found that not only do the variables that determine airfares in the United States have little to do with distance, but also that there are more variables beyond competition that are necessary to consider.
