US Airlines are known for attacking foreign long-haul carriers, often
attributing their success solely to the government subsidies that these
carriers receive. Please answer the following questions:
1) List and describe two long-haul foreign carriers that receive government subsidies.
2) Do any long-haul US carriers receive subsidies or have received subsidies in the past? If so, which airlines? Why?
3) Another complaint is that long-haul foreign carriers have made
aircraft purchases at "below market interest rates" that are unavailable
to US carriers. How is this possible? Please discuss the Export-Import
Bank.
4) Finally, critically analyzing the above information, do you feel that
the global "playing field" of long-haul carriers is fair?
Enjoy!
