Regional airline services in the liberalized European Union single aviation market

  • Graham, Brian

Abstract

The regional airline sector is one of the most dynamically growing sectors of the European Union's newly liberalized Single Aviation Market. The paper explores the relationships between regional airlines, liberalization and the concurrent globalization of the air transport industry. It seeks to define the roles of regional carriers in this rapidly changing regulatory and business environment, one that is being further transformed by important technological innovations in regional aircraft. The paper then examines the varying nature of the strategies that link the EU's regional carriers and major airlines into increasingly integrated structures. Finally, the discussion examines the changing network operations of the regionals as they seek to define and maintain their roles within the wider—and still very fluid—liberalized and globalized contexts in which they increasingly operate.
