• 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.
