'Air transport liberalization has led to a substantial increase in
the level of economic activities and traffic growth. This is an
excellent book providing a comprehensive view of the topic and
covering airline liberalization in the US, Canada, Latin America
and the Caribbean, as well as the sustainability of competition.
This book also explores aviation safety in the age of
liberalization, and the domination of hub-and-spoke networks. The
eighteen chapters in the books are written by and for practitioners
and academics.'
--Bijan Vasigh, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, US'`The 30th
anniversary of the start of the liberalization of air transport in
Europe, leading to the creation of the successful EU internal
aviation market, is an excellent time to review the transformation
of the aviation industry which has taken place throughout the world
over the past few decades. This book brings together ten studies of
how markets have changed in different countries. But it does more
than that. It also reviews broader, generic topics such as safety,
small community services and hub domination and the impact
liberalization has had on each of them. Finally, it looks at future
challenges, particularly in air traffic control and security. The
wide range of topics covered helps to put the subject of air
transport liberalization into context and reveals the full extent
of the remarkable journey the aviation industry has taken in most
people's lifetimes, as well as how much more there is to do.'
--Barry Humphreys CBE, Aviation Consultant, UK' Professors Finger
and Button have assembled an impressive array of informative,
insightful, and useful chapters that, taken together, offer a
compelling endorsement for liberalizing air transport. Although a
scholarly collection, there is much in this volume of direct
relevance to aviation practitioners in both the private sector and
governments. --John Byerly, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of
State and Principal U.S. Aviation Negotiator, US
