Airline alliances are beneficial to airlines in improving quality and efficiency,increasing social welfare and optimizing the allocation of resources.However,their inherent"monopoly"attribute determines that there may be price-fixing and abuse of dominant market position,which may lead to restricting or ex-cluding competition.In this context,the United States employs a comprehensive legislative framework,a dual-track regulatory model,and an"application-approval-supervision"life-cycle review process to regulate the sector.Alliances and in-depth cooperation among airlines are the prevailing trend in the development of the civil aviation industry.In order to construct a security defense for the civil aviation market,China can take inspiration from America to speed up the legislation on antitrust exemptions for airline alliances;estab-lish an exemption review mechanism with the National Anti-Monopoly Bureau as the main body,the Civil Aviation Administration as the auxiliary body,and the joint conference system as the link;adopt an exemp-tion model combining direct application and prior review,improve the disclosure of exemption information and hearing system and create a closed-loop supervision for post and punishment mechanism after the event to ensure the orderly development of aviation alliances.
