Deregulation.

30 years ago there were 7-8 aircraft manufacturers serving 20 or so US airlines.

Everyone was allowed to buy everyone else up, now there are 2 manufacturers and 5 airlines. And the airlines are not done merging. There are merger rumours all the time. If we don’t stop them they will end up a duopoly as well.
