Chapter 7(Department of Aviation 1987~). Figure 7.1 shows the trend in theindex in real terms for various haulage distances since 1977.There was a clear acceleration in the rate of increase of the indexafter 1979, with rates for short-haul and medium-haul services risingsubstantially compared with those for long-haul routes. Theintroduction of fixed handling charges by Ansett in June 1980 and byTAA in Apri 1 1981 was the major factor in the increases recorded inmid-l980 and 1981 (Department of Avi'ation 1984b, 16). Published rateswere relatively stable during 1983 but further rises were recorded in1984 and 1985. They fell in 1986 as a result of factors such as asubstantial decline in cargo capacity uti1 isation and attempts byshippers to reduce distribution costs.An index of airline freight rates is also produced by the BTE (1987).This generally indicates a similar trend to that in Figure 7.1, with adecline of 21 per cent in 1986.The data prepared by the Department of Transport and Comnunicationsand the BTE indicate thatpublished freight rates paid by smallshippers increased in real terms until 1986. However, the indexes maynot accurately reflect the trends in rates for large shippers whoreceive discounts. Time series data on actual rates paid are notavailable but some information on trends can be obtained from airlineyields and other sources.Trunk airline yieldsData for Australian's cargo and passenger yields over the 10 years to1985-86 are presented in Table 7.2.2The average yield for cargo was virtually unchanged in real terms overthe period, suggesting that the reported increases in published ratesmay not accurately reflect the trends in market rates. However, therewas significant variability in developments in individual years.Australian's cargo yields declined in the first three years during theperiod of detailed regulation and in the two years imnediatelyfollowing the relaxation of regulation. Increases in average yieldswere recorded in the two years prior to the regulatory changes and inthe three years up to 1985-86. Initial analysis of the data thereforedoes not reveal a consistent relationship between the regulatoryframework and the trend in Australian's average yield for cargotraffic.2. Average yield is computed by dividing revenue by tonne-kilometresfor the traffic.59
