Description

The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it lays out the forces that shaped the international aviation industry and that changed the entire rules within the drive for liberalization. Second, it looks on the many interesting and difficult choices ahead that the airline industry basically and the international aviation industry in particular face. These choices include many dichotomies: pulling back from the trend toward liberalization or embracing the liberalization trend, merging on the lookout for profitability or fragmenting the industry on the lookout for economies. These imaginable futures are explored including the pros and cons of each and every future from a national, consumer, employer, and employee standpoint. As with the previous two editions, Evolution of International Aviation reviews the historical development of the international aviation system. From this foundation it then provides an up to date and expanded account of the present state of the aviation and aerospace industry including profitability, consolidation, and merger activity. New to this edition, the book broadens the coverage of the industry segments – airlines, air cargo, and manufacturing – to include the emerging commercial space sector. It also emphasizes the relationship between aviation and the political process, exploring the sustainability of this mode of transportation in a world of climate change, high oil prices, and political instability. Because this book is intended for both the interested amateur and the more serious student, references are provided within the text and on the end of each and every chapter to allow for further in-depth study. The third edition also adds to each and every chapter a set of learning objectives and a concluding series of questions for discussion.
