Abstract

This article presents analysis of air service levels and competition dynamics in the transatlantic market before and after the EU‐US Open Skies Agreement (OSA) signed in 2008. By comparing direct and connecting flights in a typical off‐peak week, we investigate whether the EU‐US OSA has led to more choices for transatlantic travelers. We examine the impact of the EU‐US OSA on competition between carriers, alliances, and hub airports. The results show that the number of direct transatlantic connections and served airport pairs decreased and only indirect competition increased.
