Title
The European Air Navigation Services Industry : a market analysis
Author
Abstract
In Europe, air navigation services (ANS) are more expensive compared to other regions. More input fac- tors are used, while less ights are handled. Trac is expected to continue to grow, putting pressure on the current European model for ANS provision. To develop a model for the future, a profound under- standing of the ANS market is needed. This paper identies the market structure, its players and their relationships through a review of existing scientic literature as well as available reports published by air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and ANS regulators. The main ndings are that European ANSPs have established a geographical monopoly mainly due to legally set up entry barriers and per- ceived economies of scale. This leads to a situation in which market power towards airspace users remains relatively high despite recent policy eorts. However, possibilities to open up the ANS market can be iden- tied, but require further research.
