Would more airline deregulation be successful for increasing profits?

As we move into a post covid world, and airliners start to recover. Would more deregulation like the act of airline deregulation of 1978 help today's airlines?

What economic regulation is there that you think needs being removed?

Here's what "even fewer regulations" would look like:

PHLspecial, I understand what you are asking; however, there really isn't anything left to cut.

Are you asking for another shot at American crony capitalism like 1978 was?

Airlines have been deregulated enough, I honestly can't see how they can be deregulated any further. However airports can be deregulated, which would benefit competition. It only needs to come with a rule that airports within a certain distance from each other cannot be owned by the same party otherwise that party would get a monopoly in a certain region. Let airports compete against each other and ultimately this will benefit everyone.
