In the end it was decided for the Air Force to use an existing acquisition strategy to purchase a replacement Testing aircraft.

Case Study US-Airline Since the deregulation of the U.S. airline industry in 1978, a substantial number of new carriers emerged; particularly those following a low cost strategy. Given those airlines’ rapid growth and market success the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) already identified a so called `low cost airline service revolution’ back in 1997. Almost fifteen years after the drafting of the DOT report, the low cost airline service revolution has not only continued – reflected in an increase of the domestic passenger market share from about 13 percent in 1997 to about 28 percent in 2009 – but also led to a substantial rise in the competitive interaction between network carriers and low cost carriers. Against this background of a substantial and further increasing relevance of low cost carriers, the paper aims at developing a comprehensive perspective of the evolution of the domestic U.S. airline industry in recent years. We find that network carriers (NWCs) und low-cost carrier (LCCs) each entered about 1,200 non-stop routes between 1996 and 2009.
