  1. Since the Third Package in 1993, European Union (EU) registered airlines have been able to purchase majority ownership of other EU carriers and set up airlines in other EU countries. This paper investigates how European majors have responded to the liberalised policy, especially European Commission Regulation 2407/92. It goes on to analyse the impact of these strategies for airlines and the EU–US relationship in terms of airline alliances. It concludes that British Airways and the SAirGroup have pursued a policy of acquiring airlines in EU countries, with the former finding it an expensive and questionable strategy, and the latter disastrous.

    Third EU Aviation Package—Summary

    New Freedoms from 1 January 1993

    — United Kingdom airlines able to fly between other Member States without starting or ending at a British airport (so-called "seventh freedom" rights, e.g. Paris-Rome);

    — Possible for United Kingdom airline to fly between destinations within another Member State, following or preceding a flight from the United Kingdom ("consecutive cabotage", e.g. London-Rome-Naples). A capacity limitation applies;

    — Free setting of fares: new fares and changes in existing fares come in immediately, and all restrictions on low fares have been swept away;

    — Any airline which meets uniform financial, safety and EC ownership and effective control requirements is entitled to an operating licence in any Member State where it is based;

    — Charter services are included in the package for the first time. All remaining restrictions, e.g. on "seat only passengers"* have been removed;

    — No special status for national flag carriers, in the form of discretionary route licensing or protection from competition on routes, is allowed.

    New Freedoms from 1 April 1997

    — Airlines able to fly purely internal routes within other Member States, e.g. United Kingdom airline flying Rome-Naples ("stand alone" cabotage), without restriction: any remaining regulation of national airlines for internal routes will go.

    *Charter seats sold without accompanying accommodation or other services.
