AbstractMuch of the literature on airline cooperation focuses on the price effects of cooperation. A key contribution of our paper is to empirically examine the product quality effects of airline cooperation. Two common types of cooperation among airlines involve international alliances and antitrust immunity (ATI), where ATI allows for more extensive cooperation. Additionally, this paper examines the extent to which domestic mergers affect the quality of international air travel products. The results suggest that increases in the membership of a carrier’s alliance or ATI partners and domestic mergers are associated with the carrier’s own products having more travel-convenient routing quality. Therefore, a complete welfare evaluation of airline cooperation and mergers should not ignore product quality effects.

This paper performs a comparative literature review of different approaches to explain the effects of international airline alliances on fares. Authors develop different models adopting their own simplifications and boundary conditions. In the models effects of cooperative price setting are shown to have positive effects for consumers. With the improvement of services, consumers may be willing to pay a premium, which can outweigh to positive effects of allocative efficiency. In non-cooperative pricing conditions, both airlines and passengers do not reap the full benefits possible from the system. The loss of competition however always results in an increase on fares. By studying the repertoire on airline alliances it is possible to advance a comprehensive view on the subject.

AbstractOver the past several decades, airlines have formed and participated in international alliances to seek competitive advantages. However, it is still unclear whether airlines obtain substantial competitive advantages through an international alliance and how to measure the competitive advantages of alliances and airlines. This study presents a critical literature review as a contribution to comprehensive and novel empirical researches in the future.
