Path Creation in the Passenger Transport Industry: What Can Air Learn From Rail

Daniel Fürstenau

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperResearch

Abstract

For advancing airline sales infrastructure to the technological state-of-the-art, the industry’s association IATA currently aims at forming a new distribution standard. We take this issue to shed light on the motivation for agreeing on commercial standards in passenger transportation and their historical development in the railway and airline industry. We then reflect on lessons that can be learnt both from economic theory and prior standardisation experiences.
