BTCE undertook this study to identify and analyse the factors which have influenced the supply and demand for air services on the Australia-Japan route and to examine the future prospects for the route. The study examined the factors which influence the Japanese overseas travel market, such as government policies, the supply of aviation infrastructure, the structure of the Japanese tour consolidation industry and the conduct of the airlines operating on the route. It also examined how the prices of holiday packages to Australia compared with similar packages to competing destinations.

Several important aviation reform initiatives have been taken in the past five years. These include the economic deregulation of interstate services, the establishment of the Federal Airports Corporation and the Civil Aviation Authority as statutory authorities, multiple designation of Australia's international air services, the start of negotiations with New Zealand on a single trans-Tasman aviation market, and the merger and privatisation of Qantas and Australian Airlines.

This Paper contains the preliminary results of these surveys.

This Working Paper explains why sound demand elasticities are of key importance to any assessment of the impact on passenger demand of changes to air services or aviation infrastructure. Using quarterly data from 1986 to 1993, the study provides updated and disaggregated estimates for Australia international travel markets through the development of econometric demand models. Twelve markets are examined: Australia-Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Fiji, New Zealand and the United States of America. The demand characteristics of different nationalities and passengers travelling for different purposes are identified and incorporated into the analysis.

This Paper has been produced to inform debate on an issue of growing significance in the aviation industry. The increasing incidence of code sharing between airlines has met with a mixed reception within the industry and government circles. It has been criticised as a form of consumer deception; it has been seen as a force both for and against competitive markets and improved service quality; and it has been pursued by airlines as a service and profit maximising strategy.
