• Abstract:
  Airline deregulation has led to lower airfares and better service for most air ; travelers, due largely to increased competition spurred by the entry of new ; airlines into the industry and established airlines into new markets. However, ; some airports-particularly those serving small and medium-sized communities in ; the East and upper Midwest-have not experienced such entry and thus have ; experienced higher fares and worse service since deregulation. This ; Congressional report by the General Accounting Office (GAO) discusses still ; existent barriers to competion and how those barriers have affected service and ; airfares.
