  • There wasn’t government control of the airlines, just regulations. Protectionist regulations.

    The airlines were still privately owned and the government gave them sweetheart deals and intentionally limited the entry of new competition into the industry, allowing the formation of monopolies of the legacy airlines. There was no incentive for increasing the number of carriers because that would hurt profits, and the regulations helped by making entry into the market even harder.

    That problem goes away if you just seize the airlines and run them as public utilities.
