Abstract

This thesis is an attempt to determine what factors are responsible for airline cost. The question is important both in the formation of airline route structure and in the determination of fares. Some authorities maintain that the load of facto is almost the sole determination of airline costs. Others hold that the length of the flight is extremely important. The capacity of equipment, speed of plane, and extent to which equipment is utilized have also been considered important. Each of these factors affect airline route structure and some of them affect rate structure. This chapter will briefly review this controversy and show its significance.
