Summary:

Major airline ownership of computerized reservation systems used by travel agents in booking most flights is often cited as a major barrier to competition in the airline industry. This testimony summarizes GAO's work over the past six years on the impact of airline-owned computerized reservation systems on competition. In GAO's view, the proposed Airline Competition Enhancement Act of 1992 is a step in the right direction. The Department of Transportation has delayed too long in responding to continuing problems in this area, and legislation appears necessary.
