Air transport in the Asia Pacific has undergone significant transformation in the last three decades. What was once a region in the shadow of larger and more prosperous continents such as North America and Europe is now at the forefront of expansion in commercial air-service networks, frequency and capacity, and the overall growth in the contribution of air transport to economies on regional and, in many cases, individual country levels. Despite this, it represents an area that is generally under-represented in the commercial air-transport academic literature. Air Transport in the Asia Pacific seeks to fill this gap. Against this context, the aim of the volume is to offer a contemporary snapshot of current academic research into commercial air transport in the Asia Pacific. While one volume cannot realistically address the complete range of identifiable issues, this book provides timely, specific and research-based studies authored by leading academics and practitioners.

Reviews

"Air Transport in the Asia Pacific provides an important snapshot of cutting edge research of aviation in a geographical region that has been growing significantly over the past two decades. David Duval's book is a splendid piece of work, drawing on the in-depth knowledge of leading aviation experts around the globe, and addressing important challenges the airline industry is facing in the twenty-first century, ranging from aircraft utilization, climate change, and aeropolitical systems."
- Michael LA1/4ck, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand

"Collectively, the book's discussions of market growth, shifting geographies of demand and supply, uneven processes of liberalisation and deregulation, the emergence of low-cost carriers, and shifting governance approaches to air transport result in a timely overview of the key issues. Each of the chapters has been written by leading experts in the chosen field, and they consistently provide an original and wellstructured take on their focused topics."
