In order to wipe out the great loss in Chinese civil aviation industry resulted from the severe price competition taking place among aviation companies, the Civil Aviation Administrative of China (CAAC) set a new rule in 1999 forbidding Chinese civil aviation companies to offer a rebate to passengers.This paper analyzes the impact of the existence of these retailers on social welfare.One of the conclusions is that the impact of disobedient retailers on social welfare is mainly dependent on the cost function of these retailers and that of aviation companies.
