Between 1987 and 1993, the number of passengers traveling on U.S. airlines between the United States and foreign destinations increased by 47 percent, while domestic traffic increased by only six percent. The airlines' ability to respond to this demand is limited, however, by intergovernmental restrictions and cost constraints. As a result, the airlines have increasingly entered into alliances with foreign airlines, rather than starting new service to additional foreign cities. Likewise, foreign carriers have entered into alliances with U.S. airlines to increase their access to the U.S. market. This report (1) examines the effects of marketing alliances between U.S. and foreign airlines on airlines' traffic flows and revenues and on consumers and (2) identifies key issues concerning such alliances that need to be addressed by the Transportation Department. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-99/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-99.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-99/pdf/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-99.pdf GAO/RCED-95-99 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-95-99 Chapter Report GAO/RCED-95-99; International Aviation: Airline Alliances Produce Benefits, but Effect on Competition Is Uncertain; Airline regulation Airline industry Computerized information systems Airports Management information systems Antitrust law Competition Commercial aviation Competition limitation Regulatory agencies Heathrow Airport (United Kingdom) Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport (Atlanta, GA) Memphis International Airport (Memphis, TN) Dulles International Airport (VA) Cincinnati (OH) United Kingdom Austria Belgium Iceland Switzerland Canada Netherlands Japan France European Union
