The Changing Aviation Scene in Europe

Chapter 6 in Transport in a Free Market Economy, 1991, pp 177-185 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It seems to be popular to speak about deregulation in air transport in Europe. As a policy-maker in the EC I shall unfortunately have to take issue with this notion. It is true that our starting-point is that free movement of services (air transport) must be allowed at the latest by 1 January 1993. However we are not aiming for deregulation but for a market structure which will be able to sustain competition. This means that certain mergers should be stopped, predatory pricing should not be allowed, unfair and discriminatory market behaviour will be resisted, state aid will in certain circumstances be allowed and so on and so forth. These are some of the areas where we feel that the US deregulation has gone too far.
