Since the liberalisation of air transport in the EU in the late 1980s, with the application of competition law to agreements and practices within the EU, and between EU and non-EU airlines, particularly from 2004, competition has intensified. The industry has evolved, with the emergence of low-cost carriers, greater consolidation between full service carriers through mergers and alliances, and most recently, convergence of business models as airlines respond to competitive pressures. The enforcement of competition law has also increased within the EU - at EU and EU Member State level - and internationally. In light of this, the book offers a blend of practical advice and legal input, useful for practitioners and academics, and all others who are involved with this interesting and multifaceted subject.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong the issues and topics covered are the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ecommercial agreements between airlines such as code-sharing, mergers and alliances, and other joint ventures;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emeans of distribution such as computer reservation (or global distribution) systems and travel agents;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esupply and distribution agreements;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eabusive conduct by dominant companies, including airports, airlines, or other companies;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecartels, including the Airfreight cartel case;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einformation exchange between competitors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eprocedure, enforcement, and private actions for damages;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eState aid to airlines by governments, through agreements between regional airports and low-cost carriers, and aid to airports; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eState subsidies by non-EU countries to airlines.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author also gives an overview of the liberalisation process, the European Common Aviation Area, agreements with non-EU countries, latest developments (including Brexit), and ongoing trends.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow this will help you: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis practical and thoroughly researched book, minimising the need for cross-referencing, is currently the only comprehensive study of European competition law from the perspective of the airline industry.
