Abstract:Congressional testimony by John H. Anderson, Jr., 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. Anderson's testimony
discusses (1) GAO findings and recommendations concerning continuing barriers
to competition and entry by new airlines into existing markets and (2) DOT's
response to the recommendations in earlier GAO reports.
