The relations between competition and safety in the air transportion market are investigated. The allegation that competition in the air transportion market necessarily results in a deterioration of flight safety is examined on theoretical grounds. Existing studies of the relationship of safety and competition in flight transportation are summarized. The development of flight safety in the USA before and after the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 is analyzed. Theoretical reasoning and the empirical confirmation lead to the conclusion that economic regulation is not inevitable in order to secure a high level of safety in air transportion. The maintaining or the regulation of technical standards is advised.
