Study Notes

Airports and Aviation Regulation

  • Governments control international aviation markets through the allocation of traffic rights
  • The 1944 Chicago Convention regulated international aviation, assigning access to national rights requiring ownership and control within a state.
  • This regulation also governs airfares, handed over to IATA.

Phases of Regulatory Focus in Aviation

  • Regulation Era:
    • 1910-1918: Military importance.
    • 1920s: National integration (mail services).
    • 1930s: Internationalism (BA/KL).
    • 1940s: Military Development.
    • Late 1940s-1970s: Economic regulation.
  • Deregulating and New Regulating Era:
    • 1970s-1970s: Domestic deregulation in US.
    • 1980s: International deregulation (open skies, EU packages).
    • 1980s-2000s: Private infrastructure (airports).
    • 2000s: Airline partnerships and mergers
    • 2020s: Environmental regulations.

Australia's Aviation Market

  • The regulated domestic market ended in 1995.
  • Qantas and Australian Airlines merged and were privatised, with 25% sold to British Airways.
  • Ansett was given an international designation.
  • The IASC allocated traffic rights.
  • The Australian government's Federal Airports Corporation previously owned 39 airports.
