RESUMO

In the air transport industry in Chile there exists free entry, there is no fare regulation, and the role of government is defined as one of minimum intervention. However, the evolution of the industry over the last year has prompted public concern and debate about the degree of competition in the domestic passenger air transport markest, especially in routes where there is only one airline. Several of the current public policy concerns in Chile have been already the focus in the economic literature since the deregulation in the U.S. during the late 70s and the interest has increased lately as a result of many mergers and alliances among airlines. The theretical and empirical research has largely contributed to a better understanding of the specific characteristics of the air tranport industry and the main factors affecting competition in these markest. For this reason, a literature review can shed light on the relevant issues to be considered in the analysis and implementation of public policies in this industry. The main goal of this study is to review the economic literature on air transport and bring up the critical issues that should be considered in the analysis of anticompetitive risks and the degree of competition in this industry. An analysis of these critical issue would allow not only future research about the effects on competition of the current air transport policies but would also allow to evaluate the implementation of public policies to increase the degree of competition in the domestic markets.
