航空会社における事業構造の現状と変化について概観した。航空輸送事業においては、ローコストキャリア(LCCs:Low-cost carriers)が提供する低運賃サービスが増加している。また、航空輸送サービスを分解し、それぞれのオプショナルサービスに料金を設定するアラカルト化が、米国航空会社の国内線やLCC において進展している。非航空輸送事業では、ホテル事業などが大幅に縮小される一方、アラカルト化の下での新たな付帯サービスの導入、フリークエントフライヤープログラム(Frequent Flyers Program、略してFFP)ポイントの販売、インターネット上での小売・販売など、いくつかの新たな事業・サービスが拡大している。This study describes the current situation and the change in business structure of airlines. First, in passenger services, low-fare services which low-cost carriers (LCCs) offer have been increasing dramatically.Second, airlines fragment passenger services and impose fees on each optional service, which is the so-called a la carte strategy. U.S. airlines in domestic services and most of LCCs actively pursue such strategy. Third, airlines have recently expanded new businesses and services, such as sales of Frequent Flyers Program (FFP) points, web site retails, new frilled optional services, while they divested their non-core businesses including hotel business and travel-related services in the 1980's and 1990's.東京海洋大学大学院海洋工学系流通情報工学部門

On January 1998, the U.S. and Japan agreed upon a new bilateral civil aviation framework. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the pre-1998 and the new U.S.-Japan civil aviation frameworks and examines to what extent government regulations have been removed. Four major research findings are drawn. First, in 1980's, the Japanese Ministry of Transport (MOT) partially enforced route and capacity regulations by freezing the original 1952 U.S.-Japan Aviation Treaty. Subsequently, the two-tier framework, more protective than the Treaty, was established, leading to inequality in competitive conditions among market participants. Second, the framework was not restrictive enough to control the U.S.-Japan market and protect Japanese carriers. Third, the new framework is far more liberal and transparent than the old framework or the current U.S.-U.K. and U.S.France ones. It is practically close to a free trade, i. e., open skies, framework. Fourth, MOT continues to insist on regulating international aviation services, although it embarked on substantial liberalization of the U.S.Japan framework.
