The Regulation of Air Transport (eBook, PDF)

From Protection to Liberalisation, and Back Again

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The regulation of modern civil aviation can be traced back to the later years of the Second World War. An intense debate about the future regulatory regime resulted in a compromise which to this day essentially dictates the structure of the global airline industry. Further progress towards 'normalising' the industry appears to be slowing down, and perhaps even going into reverse. Without an understanding of the development of regulation, it is not possible to understand fully the industry's current problems and how they might be resolved.

Many books have been written about the development of international air transport, covering deregulation, privatisation, the emergence of new business models among other things, but few if any have taken a broad view of the trends which have determined the industry's current structure. The Regulation of Air Transport charts the development of aviation from the end of the Second World War to the present day, following the key trends and disruptive forces. It provides an overview of what has determined the industry's current structure, the problems still facing the industry and the ways in which it could develop in the future.

This wide-ranging study is important reading for both professionals and academics within the aviation field, as well as anyone interested in the broader development of economic regulation.

Aviation leaders, policy analysts, and academic researchers will find The Regulation of Air Transport to be a comprehensive guide to the policy revolutions that have shaped 21st-century aviation.'

Robert Poole, The Reason Foundation, USA

'This is a fundamental book for the library of anyone involved in aviation. Check it out!'

Edward Clayton, PwC, Malaysia

'If you have any interest in aviation regulatory developments over the past 80 years, this book is an interesting and enjoyable read. This is thanks in no small part to the inclusion of anecdotes and background snippets from people involved along the pathway of change. I thoroughly recommend this book!'

Edmond Rose, ASM, UK

'An excellent book. It's a treasure trove of information and ideas from one of the UK's leading experts.'

Peter Harbison, Greener Airlines, Australia

'Barry Humphreys is one of the best and most insightful commentators on aviation policy and regulation. He has written a book about the moves to and then back from liberalisation, which I have the pleasure of recommending.'

Andrew Charlton, Aviation Advocacy, Switzerland

'Barry Humphreys paints a complete picture, combining descriptions of historical events with regulatory analysis and, where relevant, is supported by numbers and economic observations.'
