Executive Summary
What is the Purpose of this Report?
This document is an update to MIT Small Community Air Service White Paper No. 1—Trends
and Market Forces Shaping Small Community Air Service in the United States1. This report
provides updated analysis and data appendices including 2013 schedule data. This will allow
readers to investigate the continuing effects of U.S. airline capacity discipline and the changes in
available domestic service at the 462 U.S. airports examined in the earlier report. As with the
2013 report, the data contained in this report has been sourced from Diio Mi.
How Has Available Domestic Air Service in the U.S. Changed Since 2012?
Our 2013 report on trends and market forces shaping small community air service in the U.S.
showed that many smaller U.S. airports saw levels of available domestic flights and seats fall
from 2007-2012 as a result of an economic downturn, high and volatile fuel prices, and a U.S.
airline management strategy called “capacity discipline.” Through capacity discipline, airlines
kept levels of domestic capacity growth low relative to historical levels despite a recovery in the
U.S. economy. Capacity discipline has been in place in the U.S. since 2010, and the strategy has
proved to be profitable as airlines removed economically unviable service and duplicate
connectivity to secondary hubs.
As the data in this report’s appendices show, capacity discipline is still in full force in the United
States. Scheduled domestic flights decreased by 1.1% from 2012-2013, while available seats
(seat-departures) increased by 0.4% over the same period. This reflects a continuing trend of
upgauging and an increase in average stage length as airlines continue to remove 50-seat regional
jets from service. Figure 1 shows how available domestic seats and ASMs increased from 20122013, despite a 1.1% decrease in available departures over the same period.

As was the case from 2007-2012, smaller airports continue to see larger reductions in scheduled
domestic flights than larger airports. Table 1 shows the percent change in domestic flights by
FAA airport hub type from 2012-2013; smaller airports2 saw a 2.9% decrease in available flights
over the last year, as compared to a 0.2% reduction at the 29 large-hub airports. In total, 61.1%
of domestic departures at the U.S. originated at one of the 29 large-hub airports in 2013.

While network carriers continue to practice capacity discipline, reducing their scheduled
domestic departures by 0.8% from 2012 to 2013, some LCCs started to cut capacity at a faster
pace. Southwest Airlines and AirTran Airways reduced their joint scheduled departures by 4.0%
from 2012-2013. Although JetBlue Airways saw a 5.5% increase in departures over the same
period, and Frontier Airlines saw a significant reduction in scheduled service as the airline
transitioned to an ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) business model. Established ULCCs saw
significant growth in departures on the order of 10.4% from 2012-2013, but these carriers are
still only a small part of the U.S. domestic market. ULCCs departures represented only 1.4% of
the available domestic capacity in the United States in 2013.
Among large- and medium-hub airports, the majority of airports saw reductions in available
capacity. As Figure 2 shows, 38 airports saw decreases in departures from 2012-2013, whereas
24 airports saw departure growth.

We define “smaller airports” as airports classified as FAA medium-hubs or below.
EAS refers to Essential Air Service, a federal subsidy program that provides funding for service at rural airports.

Among large-hub and medium-hub airports, Table 2 shows the ten airports that saw the largest
increases and decreases in available capacity from 2012 to 2013. Much of the capacity growth
during the last year was in Texas, with DFW, HOU, and AUS all showing departure growth of at
least 4%. New Orleans International Airport (MSY) continued its strong growth and has emerged
as a winner from the capacity discipline period. Meanwhile, several previous AirTran hubs, BWI
and MKE, saw decreases in available departures over the last year. Memphis International
Airport (MEM) saw the largest decrease in departures as Delta Air Lines ceased hub operations
at that airport.

At smaller airports, network carriers continue to remove mainline aircraft and shift service
predominantly to regional carriers. At smaller airports, 88% of United flights, 84% of US
Airways flights, 71% of Delta flights, and 69% of American flights were operated by regional
aircraft in 2013. However, the 37-50 seat regional jet continues to be removed from small airport
service. As shown in Figure 3, Delta Air Lines reduced its use of small RJs at smaller airports by
12.7% over the last year alone. United and American will likely follow suit in 2014. Some of this
service is being replaced by larger 76-seat regional jet flights, but much of this scheduled service
to smaller communities is being removed entirely.

What Capacity Trends Should We Be Watching for 2014?
Capacity discipline is certainly here to stay in the United States in the short term. Increases in
unit costs and the current success of the capacity discipline strategy in generating stable
profitability have induced airlines to keep projected capacity growth low over the next year. Any
net capacity growth will likely come at “battleground” airports such as SEA, SLC, LAX, HOU,
and DAL, as airlines continue to bolster domestic feed for enhanced international operations at
large airports. We do not expect to see any network carrier or LCC increase domestic departures
by more than 6% in the coming year. Although ultra-low-cost carriers like Spirit, Frontier, and
Allegiant may see more significant growth, these airlines represent only a small fraction of the
domestic market.
Although U.S. airlines are currently practicing system-wide capacity discipline, competitive
pressures are causing changes in service at many individual airports. As such, there are a series
of regional and airline-specific domestic capacity trends that bear watching for the remainder of
2014:






Fallout from AA/US slot divestitures at LGA and DCA, and impacts on airlines receiving
those slots;
Liberalization and growth at DAL (and loss of existing service in smaller airports in
Texas and nearby states) following the expiration of the Wright Amendment;
Delta-Alaska competitive relationship and capacity growth at SEA and SLC;
Effects of a pilot shortage on regional and ultra-regional carriers in the smallest markets;
Rationalization of the combined AA/US schedule as the combined carrier completes the
merger; and
Competitors picking up the leftovers at former network carrier hubs.
Each of these trends could continue to affect growth in capacity at local markets, and airport
officials will need to pay attention to those trends that could affect their region. However, on the
whole, capacity growth will likely be modest over the next year. Airlines continue to carefully
deploy their available capacity and target only those operations that will be likely to turn a profit.
Small airports will likely continue to need the support of incentive packages to induce new
service or, in some cases, maintain existing service. Removal of 50-seat jets in small markets
will certainly continue and likely spread to all carriers, although maintenance cost incentives will
likely keep these aircraft in operation.
In sum, while some domestic markets will show minor growth, the general attitude among U.S.
carriers is a focus on international expansion with limited new domestic activity. As such, we
expect capacity discipline to remain in effect domestically in the U.S. at least through 2015.
