We analyze the phenomenon of hub dominance by developing a model relating faresto distance, using the mainleg of intercontinental flights for scaling purposes. Our results indicate thatat least some of the major Europeancarriers place a mark up on flights originating from or going to their hubs.

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, - Voraussetzungen zur Ermittlung wertorientierter Performance Kennzahlen für Flughafenunternehmen deren Aussagekraft sowie Anwendbarkeit in der Praxis ....zu erkunden, - ausgewählte europäische börsennotierte und nicht-börsennotierte Verkehrsflughäfen...

Pricing policies applied by airport managers are unlikely to be found as excessive price under Article 102 TFEU due to the traditional caution of competition authorities in starting investigations into exploitative practices.

We study bargained input prices where up and downstream firms can choose alternative vertical partners. We apply our model to bargained airport landing fees where a number of interesting policy questions have arisen. For example, what is the impact of joint ownership of airports? Does airline...

However, differentiating from their papers, this paper introduces a domestic airline network. That is, each country has one major hub airport and some local...

We investigate the competitive effects of exchanges or sales of airport landing slots. In our model, airlines with potentially asymmetric slot allocations must decide upon which routes to use their landing slots. When all airlines serve the same routes in a slot-constrained Cournot Nash...
