INTRODUCTION

ier. Most recently, it has been announced that TWA will acquire Pan American.20 In the early1990s, further consolidation in the air transportation industry is predicted.21 American Airlines and United Airlines will likely survive. US Air, Northwest, and TWA will likely be involved in mergers, wherein they will likely survive as independent companies. Texas Air (Continental and Eastern), and Pan American will likely disappear from the scene. The consolidation activity in the American air transportation industry in the years since deregulation has not resulted in an overall decline in the purchase of new aircraft by the carriers. What has occurred in this context, however, is (1) the deferral of replacement orders, and (2) a shifting of emphasis away from widebody (747 type) aircraft, and toward narrowbody longrange aircraft, such as the Boeing 757.22 Research question number one asked: as a result of air transportation deregulation, did the size of the civil aviation fleet change to an extent that the CRAF was affectedeither positively or negativelyto any significant extent? Over the longterm, the answer to this question is no. Over the short term, however, the size of the CRAF may not be as large at any given
