| Abstract: | The deregulation of US aviation has led to drastic changes in route structures and to widespread adoption of the hub-and-spoke system. This paper ionvestigates whether deregulation in the European Union has led to a similar pattern. The study uses time schedule data for all airports in the European Union 1990-1998 and analyses both intra-European and intercontinental scheduled services. At the airport level, the authors find no evidence for the concentration of intra-European traffic on a small number of hubs. The paper concludes that a number of imperfections on the supply side of the market constrain the effect of European deregulation on competition. |
