Service-quality and pricing strategies in the airline industry: The role of distance

This paper analyzes airlines's fare and frequency decisions, both theoretically and empirically. These decisions depend on route distance, as only short-haul routes are affected by intermodal competition from personal transportation. Although fares increase with distance both on short- and long...

These decisions depend on route distance, as only short-haul routes are affected by intermodal competition from personal transportation. Although fares increase with distance both on short- and long-haul routes, the effect of distance on frequencies depends on the presence of intermodal competition. Frequencies decay with distance on long-haulroutes. However, on short-haul routes, frequencies increase with distance because airlines try to boost profits by attracting demand from other transportation modes. Finally, on short-haul routes, intermodal competition from personal transportation affects more intensively network carriers than low-cost carriers as distance rises, which produces an increased differentiation between both types of airlinesElsevier2025202520242025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion16 p.application/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/219124Articles publicats en revistes (Econometria, Estadística i Economia Aplicada)reponame:Recercat.
