ABSTRACT

Having examined the differing effects of deregulation in a number of European domestic markets, this chapter seeks to establish whether the experience has been much the same in other countries around the world. The chapter provides a listing of Brazil's passenger carriers since 1991. For the eleven years following the acquisition of Wardair by Canadian Airlines in 1989, Air Canada and Canadian Airlines dominated Canada's internal market. Until the mid-1980s, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) operated all of China's air services. The Air Corporations Act of 1953 gave Air India and Indian Airlines the sole rights to provide respectively the country's international and domestic air transport services. Sun Air has been the most recent airline to fail in the South African market. Originally formed in 1979 as Mmabatho Air service, the carrier operated as the national airline of Bophuthatswana under the name BOP Air until 1997.
