Last year, there was a formal request published by the U.S. DOJ and DOT on October 24, 2024, asking generally how air transportation for passengers, workers, regions, and economic growth has been affected by consolidation, anticompetitive conduct, unfair methods of
competition, and /or other changes in the air transportation industry?
In response, Bill Swelbar, a well-known industry analyst, produced a 34-page document outlining the industry’s history and evolution. It is a powerful read. You can download it here Swelbar-Zhong Submission to DOJ DOT RFI.
Bill discussed this with us this morning. Some in the US commercial aviation industry might not like the historical perspective.
