Abstract

This paper is aimed at conducting a detailed analysis on the government regulation and deregulation of the airline industry in the United States of America. Given the rapid growth in size and influence of the airline business in the USA, the federal government established a set of rules and regulations to steer the industry in what was believed to be the right direction. Lack of deeper understanding of the intricacies surrounding the industry led to increasing dissatisfaction amongst the airlines. The deregulation has come as a solution for a lot of problems, but it has also been deemed as a curse for airlines and passengers alike. Through a literature review, this paper discusses the real consequences of the airline deregulation in the USA and how it has influenced how people fly in America.
