Abstract Seat inventory control problem under horizontal competition (two airlines compete for passengers on the same flight leg) was studied. It is proved that there are uniqueness conditions of Nash equilibrium. The total numbers of seats available in each fare class with and without competition were compared. The results demonstrate that under horizontal competition the booking limits depend upon the overflow passengers' type.
