With the deregulation of commercial airlines in 1978, the United
States airline industry has changed dramatically. Route entry and
exit flexibility, as well as fare setting have stimulated
competition, forcing airlines to emphasize cost control, increased
productivity, and effective marketing. How have these changes in
both public and private policies influenced airline safety? Do
airplanes have more accidents now than ever before? This work
examines the causes of airplane accidents and what private and
public policies are needed to improve aviation safety. It begins by
examining the safety record of the United States commuter airline
industry in the post-deregulation era characterized by increased
emphasis by airlines on cost control and growing pressures on the
air traffic control and airport system. The authors go beyond the
safety of the scheduled airlines to examine the reasons for
accidents in the nonscheduled and general aviation segments of the
United States industry, where the bulk of fatalities occur and
where airline pilots increasingly receive most of their training
and experience. They then turn to an examination of aviation safety
throughout the world, first with a detailed comparison of Canadian
and American aviation safety, and then with a look at air safety in
all regions of the world and the safety performances of all the
world's major airlines. Three emerging issues are then examined in
greater detail: assessing the margin of safety, worldwide aging of
all airline fleets, and terrorism. Clearly written, this careful
and systematic analysis of well over 15,000 individual aviation
accidents will provide greater insight for government officials,
aviation industrymanagers, and researchers, as well as laypeople
and other frequent flyers.
