Beginning with the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the dramatic changes in the passenger commuter airline segment of the U.S. aviation industry are identified and evaluated. The results of this evaluation provide a background for judging the future course for government policies in this segment of the U.S. airline industry. Since airline deregulation, there has been accelerated growth in this segment of aviation, frequently without regard to available resources. Unanticipated increases in fuel prices, the strike of air traffic controllers, and a general business slowdown in the United States, have adversely impacted the commuter airline industry and their basic constituency, the small communities. The performance, and perhaps the survival, of the approximate 150 passenger commuter airlines, and the air service to small communities will depend on governmental policy adjustments in the areas of: essential air service standards, subsidy goals and standards, airport access priorities, joint fares, commuter aircraft development, and FAA commuter loan guarantees. Sound planning, and more realistic allocation of resources for the commuter management, small community air service advocates, and governmental policy makers are required. This means there is a need for enlightened regulatory policies, and improved and strengthened management.

Commuter airlines make up the fastest growing segment of the air transportation industry. Beginning in the early 1960s the regional/commuter airline industry has become an integral part of the air transport network in the United States. Since deregulation, the number of regional/commuter passenger enplanements has increased more rapidly than for the major carriers. This growth is expected to continue as the majors turn over more short-haul, low-density routes to the commuters. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the industry and the primary operating and management functions of a typical commuter airline. Part 1 presents the origin and development of commuters, the regulatory environment in which they operate, the structure of their industry and the important role they play. Part 2 begins with a description of the FAA certification process and is followed by coverage of market measurement, forecasting and planning. Part 3 addresses the future outlook for US regional airlines.
