Air travel is still one area ironically the US is way more regulated then overseas. With the exception of two airports (if I recall correctly), airports are still government owned. It’s only been since the 1980s that carriers could fly between two separate cities without govnrnnental approval.
That said, having flown a few times in India and Europe on some truest loathsome airlines, it works. Airfares are going down or are holding constant at a time when all of the other stuff - housing, health care have skyrocketed.
