Introduction Air travel in the US is a complex industry, whereas its flow aspect – the airlines – is liberalized economically. The airline industry is prone to many guidelines. Moreover, the reimbursement aspects, work regulations, and capital of the airline industry still reflect approximately fifty years of political power and protection (Smith & Cox, 2008). The airline industry needs lasting decision-making since it is highly capital demanding. For instance, decisions such as hiring, building airport infrastructure, developing route systems, or buying aircraft have multi-decade inferences and require large capital investments.

The deregulation of the American commercial aviation sector in 1978 had totally modified the features of civil aviation in the nation. Before deregulation, the federal government had noteworthy influence over routes and fares. Conversely, following deregulation, liberated rivalry steered in a new period in passenger air travel.

The resultant effects of deregulation, however, proved to be more spectacular for the airlines (Siddiqi, 2009).
