Abstract

We use data from the US airline industry to test the roles of long-term commitment and supplier diversification in counteracting disruption risk. A network airline may delegate a route to its own subsidiary regional airline (long-term commitment), or multiple regional airlines (supplier diversification). We find that the usage of both strategies is positively associated with external disruption risks. The chance of sourcing from a single subsidiary regional airline is higher when such risk is high. Once a network airline delegates a route to its subsidiary regional airline, supplier diversification no longer generates much extra value in dealing with disruption risk.

期刊介绍： Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
