There have been various research in analyzing airport productivity such as measuring total factor productivity using the models of translog cost function. DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) model is very useful in measuring productivity with linear programming when the output is not clearly identified and measured quantitatively in such complex facilities as airport. This study is to measure airport productivity using DEA approach for Northeast Asia. Seven international airports were analyzed including Incheon International Airport in Korea, Cheklapkok Airport in Hongkong, Narita Airport in Japan, and Changi Airport in Singapore. With the productivity measured, we can identify one of the important aspects of comparative advantage in hub competition in Asia.

The great recession which caused by financial crisis made steep rise of oil price and the serious problems of the aircraft industry. High oil price increases operating cost and the recession decreases air traffic. After a period of high book order and delivery from global economic recovery, the aircraft order fell down suddenly. Also the Aircraft price and lease rate deceased and the MRO market is reduced, too. But, the air cargo and passenger increase again since late of 2009. So, it is difficult to predict the market movement, most of the forecasters agreed that the air traffic and aircraft demand will grow gradually in long term with the growth of emerging markets like China, India and Africa. And more efficient, safe and clean aircraft is needed and will need in the market.

저비용항공사들은 전세계적인 항공수요 증가 등으로 약진을 하기도 했지만, 2000년대 초반부터 세계 항공산업은 테러위험, 유가급등, 오일머니를 등에 업은 중동 항공사들의 급성장, 그리고 2008년부터 시작된 세계경제위기로 미국과 유럽, 일본 등 메이저 항공사들은 일단 최소한의 생존가능 임계규모를 갖추고자 뼈를 깎는 구조조정을 수반한 인수합병, 대외악재에 대한 대응능력 제고, 새로운 보조수익원 개발을 통해 위기를 헤쳐나갔다. 그러나 2013년 11월 단행된 중동 항공사들(Emirates, Qatar, Etihad)의 역사상 유례없는, 한화 약 170조원 규모의 항공기 구매계약에 미국과 유럽은 물론이고 아시아 메이저 항공업계까지 다시 한번 커다란 위기감에 휩싸이게 되었다. 이러한 상황하에서도 효율적 경영의 선구적 역할을 미국의 Southwest, 유럽의 LCC Ryan Air, 아시아의 LCC Air Asia 등 LCC산업은 극심한 경기침체를 겪으면서도 해당 산업의 규모는 지속적 성장을 거듭할 전망이다. 결론적으로, 이러한 상황에서, 비록 미국과 유럽 항공사들이 대규모 구조조정을 겪고 2012년 이후부터 점차 회복기미를 보이고 있긴 하지만, 중동 항공사들의 영향력에 대응하기 위해 향후에도 추가적인 구조조정은 물론 인수/합병 등 생존을 위한 메이저 항공사들 간의 빅딜이 이어질 전망이며, 일본처럼 내수시장이 넓지 않은 한국도 중국 등 성장잠재력이 높은 국가들과의 항공자유화 등을 적극적으로 추진하여 보다 넓은 시장을 확보하지 못한다면 머지않아 수익성에 큰 타격을 입을 수밖에 없다는 결론에 도달하였다.

The Northeast Asian air cargo market has expanded tremendously as a result of the opening up of the Chinese market. The importance of the Asia-Pacific region in the global air transport has also increased. The exchange of human and material resources, services, and information in Northeast Asia, which is expected to increase in the near future, requires that the airlines operating within this region adopt a more liberalized approach. This paper introduced alternatives which can be applied to the Northeast Asian airlines industry so as to bring about the integration of regional air transport: First, this paper found a need for individual Northeast Asian nations to alter their policies towards the airlines industry. Second, each country should further liberalize their respective domestic air transport. Third, there is a need for freer air service agreements to be signed between the nations of Northeast Asia. Fourth, the strategic alliances between the airlines operating in Northeast Asia should be further strengthened. Fifth, this liberalization process should be carried out in an incremental manner, beginning with more competitive airports and routes, or with less-in-demand routes. Sixth, there is a need for a shuttle system to be put into place between the main airports in China, Korea, and Japan. Seventh, these three nations jointly develop aviation safety and security systems that are in accordance with international standards. Eighth, the liberalization process of the aviation industry should be undertaken in conjunction with other related fields. Ninth, organizations linking together civil aviation organization in the Asia-Pacific area should be formed, as should each government linking together. By doing so, these countries will be able to establish regular venues through which to exchange opinions on the integration and liberalization of the air cargo market so as to induce the gradual liberalization of the actual market. The liberalization of the air transport in Northeast Asia will prove to be a daunting task in the short term. However, if the Chinese airlines continue to exhibit continuous growth and Japanese airlines are able to complete their move towards a low-cost structure, this process could be completed earlier than expected. Over the last twenty five years the air transport has undergone tremendous changes. The most important factor behind these changes has been the increased liberalization of the market. As a result, rates have decreased while demand has increased. This has resulted in turning the air transport industry, which was long perceived as an industry in decline, into a high-growth industry. The only method of increasing regional exchanges in the air transport is to pursue further liberalization. The country which implements this liberalization process at the earliest date may very well emerge as a leading force within the air transport industry.

전 세계적으로 항공시간 전략적 제휴가 확대되고 있는 가운데 우리나라의 국적항공사들도 2001년 대한항공이 SkyTeam에 가입하였고, 2003년 아시아나 항공이 Star에 가입하였다. 그러나 국내에서 독점금지예외조항이 없어 양 항공사가 전략적 제휴 그룹 내에서 일부 활동에 제약을 받고 있는 것으로 추정된다. 미국은 항공자유화 정책의 확대 추진 전략에 따라 미국 항공사들이 외국항공사들과 전략적 제휴를 맺는 경우, 자국의 시장에서 독점금지법 조항을 면제시켜주는 제도를 실시하고 있다. 이제도로 인하여 외국 항공사들과 폭 넓은 협력 관계를 유도하고 경쟁력 있는 항공운송산업을 이끌어 가고 있다. 본 연구는 미국의 독점금지예외(ATI ; Anti-Trust Immunity)에 대한 분석을 통해 국내환경에 적용 가능한지를 살펴보고자 한다. 과거 우리 정부는 경제성장을 위해 소비자로부터 생산자에게로 경제 잉여를 집중시키는 정책을 취하였다. 개발연대 동안 우리 기업은 정부의 정책 및 제도의 도움으로 또는 묵인 하에 국내시장에서 독과점적 지위를 유지하곤 하였다. 그러나 80년대에 접어들면서 “독점규제 및 공정거래에 관한 법률”과 공정거래위원회의 발족으로 시장구조를 경쟁적으로 만들고, 소비자 후생을 증대 시키는 정책목표가 보다 중요시 되고 있다. 그러나 미국에서도 소비자 후생을 증대 시키는 정책목표가 보다 중요시 되고 있다. 그러나 미국에서도 소비자 후생과 시장구조를 경쟁적으로 만들기 위해 제정된 독점금지법의 과도한 적용이 오히려 소비자 후생을 희생시킨다는 지적이 제기되고 있다. 또한 최근의 마이크로소프트사의 판례를 통해서도 나타났듯이 우월한 효율성과 규모의 경제에 의한 독점력은 인정되어야 한다는 추세이다. 이러한 관점에서 국내항공사가 외국의 항공사와 전략적 제휴를 맺어 효율성을 유지하고 규모의 경제성을 가지므로 인하여 지닐 수 있는 경쟁력은 국내의 항공운송삼업의 육성차원에서 지원이 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 향후 정부는 국제항공정책에 대한 장기적인 비젼과 함께 국내 항공법에 독점금지예외조항을 도입할 필요가 있다고 본다.

The air market in Asia has already entered upon the age of limitless competition. It means a very important moment in Asia air market. Each Asian country thus has put a lot of effort into a development plan and support to their hub airport. In order to achieve such a plan, first of all we should build closer cooperation system between the two countries Japan and Korea. The Korea and Japan are very fast growing in the northeast countries within the global air transport market. Air passenger and cargo traffic volumes between Korea and Japan have increased dramatically, since the 1990s. In response to such a trend, both countries have opened new airports and expanded existing facilities in the hopes of laying claims to the main international hub airport in Asia. Apart from the trend, air transportation between Korea and Japan's metropolitan areas is the only transportation in substance, even if they are located very closely in geographical position. The air transportation between the two countries shows that it is necessary to get fast and more convenient because of the economic and cultural interchange and exchange concentrated on the metropolitan areas, and that will promote the economic growth of Korea and Japan. However, within the air transportation industry field, there have no sufficient seats/slots to supply the air demand from the capital cities of each country, as well as no counterplan for some problems regarding capacityand sustain ability of metropolitan airports. Thus, it is necessary for us to consider in all aspects and solve them to improve air transportation between Korea and Japan. This paper is to try to demonstrate this matter and from all angles, that is, in legal and political aspects, facilities and given environmental conditions and cooperation between Korea and Japan. I think that it is indeed a great necessary and convenient for many Korean and Japanese tourists to conclude a new 'Open Sky Agreement' between Japan and Korea in order to the prepare the increase of the shuttle flight between Haneda-Gimpo and opening of air route newly for shuttle flight between Haneda and Cheongju as well as opening of air route for shuttle flight between Haneda-Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport and Beijing International Airport for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Furthermore it is a great desirable thing for us to conclude a new 'Open Sky Agreement' in cooperation reciprocally among the Japan, China and Korea for opening the new air route by the shuttle flight.

Since American Airlines launched AAdvantage which was the first Frequent Flyer Program in 1981, many people has accumulated mileage credits, and now, frequent flyer program(FFP) is the universal marketing tool to the airlines. These days, airlines establish a strategic alliance with domestic and foreign companies of various fields ; other airlines, travel agencies, car hire firms, hotels, department stores, even credit card companies. However, more people want to use their mileage credits, more airlines reject to approve that or change frequent flyer program against their customers. Last year, Northwest, Inc. v. Ginsberg, the United State Supreme Court made a decision that the preemption provision of Airlines Deregulation Act(ADA) preempts state laws related to rates, routes and services for air carriers including implied covenant of good faith and fare dealing. Thus, the claim of Ginsberg was canceled, it means that Northwest Inc. could terminated one-sidedly his membership in the frequent flyer program. In the contrast, Korea does not have the statute like ADA. If customers file a claim on FFP like Ginsberg, the courts of Korea judge whether the clauses of standard form contract are unfair or not. Therefore, in this article, Ginsberg would be checked on legal issues and be compared briefly with the courts' ruling in Korea.

As part of the ongoing global process of airlines forming strategic alliances, Korean Air has become a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, while Asiana has joined the Star Alliance. However, as something akin to the Anti-Trust Immunity(ATI) initiative has not been ratified domestically, these two airlines have seen their roles within these strategic alliances significantly reduced. In keeping with its domestic airline liberalization policy the U.S. government has instituted a mechanism through which foreign airlines that join such strategic alliances with their American counterparts can be exempt from the U.S. antimonopoly law. As a result, U.S. airlines have been able to forge wide ranging cooperative relations with foreign airlines, and thus increased their competitiveness within the air transport industry. This study analyzes the applicability of this Anti-Trust Immunity initiative to the domestic environment.

This study dealt with the airport network applying the Structural Equivalence which has used in the field of social science network. It analyzed the size of aviation market and trade exchanges. The results between blocks through the Convergence of Iteration Correlation are as follows; Block 1 (major hub airport) and Block 5 (Australian and New Zealand airports) have a strong relationship between other blocks. Block 3 (CIS region) and Block 7 (Malaysia and Indonesia) have been indicated as relatively low degree. The structural equivalence analysis can be grouped as a small number of blocks with large and complex networks and also presented a significant result according to the nature of the relationship between aviation market and the level of trade exchanges.
