  • Abstract:
    This is the statement of John H. Anderson, Jr., Director, Transportation Issues, Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division before the Subcommittee on Aviation, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of Representatives on September 20, 1999. March 1998, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a report on the changes in airfares and service quality since airline deregulation. This testimony is based on information developed for that report and specifically addresses the changes in airfares and service quality at Buffalo Niagara International Airport (Buffalo), which serves the western portion of New York State. In summary, the GAO found the following: (1) Most communities in the United States, including Buffalo, have benefited from a decrease in average airfares since 1990; average airfares for passengers traveling to and from Buffalo are lower today than they were in 1990. Those average airfares, however, are higher than they were in 1994, particularly for travel to or from cities within 750 miles of Buffalo. By 1998, overall average airfares to and from Buffalo were 27% higher than those for comparably sized communities and nearly 29% higher than the nation as a whole. (2) Since the deregulation, the overall quality of air service, as measured by various quantitative (i.e., number of scheduled departures) and qualitative (i.e., availability of jet service) factors has decreased for Buffalo. 3 Figures, 1 table. 19 p.
