Abstract:
Congressional testimony by Gerald L. Dillingham, Associate Director,
Transportation Issues, Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division,
General Accounting Office (GAO), on competition in the domestic airline industry.
In October 1996, the GAO reported that certain industry practices, such as
restrictive gate-leasing arrangements, impeded entry, particularly at a number
of major airports in the East and upper Midwest. Based on these findings, the
GAO made a number of recommendations aimed at addressing these barriers to entry
and identified potential actions the Congress might wish to consider. The
October 1996 report was one in a series of studies the GAO conducted over the
1980s and 1990s on domestic airline competition. Mr. Dillingham's testimony
deals with findings from prior GAO work on operating barriers and recent actions
taken by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in connection with those
findings. It also addresses how the draft Aviation Competition Enhancement Act
of 1997 and other initiatives seek to address those problems. 20p.
