Abstract: | The Southwest effect has been known for some time in terms of the US airline’s
impact on pricing, competition and traffic volumes. But recent estimates of the impact
on traffic and market shares do not exist. This desideratum can be addressed by
applying Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models with
Intervention analysis to key domestic air routes in the USA where Southwest has
started service.
The paper first deals with the choice of routes to be examined and, after a preliminary
statistical description of these, applies the ARIMA models. These results are
examined for both their statistical qualities and their reasonableness and the impacts
are compared to those previously determined in the same way for Ryanair’s routes
from London. |
