Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume of the "Air Transport and the GATS 2000-2005 in Review " series, which will be published progressively in the course 2007 and 2008. It contains the documentation prepared by the WTO Secretariat for the WTO Membership in the framework of a quinquennal review process of the air transport sector. It deals with services "auxiliary" to air transport, namely maintenance repair and overhaul, airlines' ticket distribution, franchising, leasing, ground handling ,airport management and air navigation services. These services represent all together hundreds of billions of dollars of turnover and hundreds of thousands of jobs, but they are very rarely dealt with in the academic literature, be it economic or legal.
Download or read book Competition and Investment in Air Transport written by Ruwantissa Abeyratne and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses emerging legal and economic issues in competition and investment in air transport, against the backdrop of the role governments and airlines should play in avoiding protectionism and encouraging innovation and creativity. It evaluates current trends in air transport and the direction the industry is taking in the twenty first century. There are discussions on key aspects of air transport, such as safety assurance and environmental protection, as they are impacted by competition. The rapid evolution of aerospace transport and its effect on competition in air transport is also examined. A recurring theme of the book is the influence of creative destruction and disruptive innovation on air transport. This is addressed through an in-depth study of the contentious areas of law relating to the abuse of dominant positions and state aid, as reflected in the ongoing claim by the three largest US carriers against Gulf carriers such as Emirates Airlines, Etihad and Qatar Airways. The US carriers claim that Emirates and Etihad – which operate air services into the United States by virtue of an open-skies agreement between the US and The United Arab Emirates - are using generous subsidies given to them by their g overnments to illegally capture the “legitimate” market belonging to the US carriers. These issues are clarified in the book using analyses of competition law and investment law as they apply to air transport, free-trade-agreement analogies and an open-skies case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making a detailed contribution to geographies of air transport and aeromobility, this book examines the practices and processes that produce particular patterns of air transport provision both regionally and globally. In so doing, it updates the seminal contributions of Eva Taylor (1945), Kenneth Sealy (1957), Brian Graham (1995) to the study of air transport geography. Leading scholars in the field offer a unique insight into the key developments that have occurred in the field and the implications that these developments have had for geography, geographers, and global patterns of past, present and future air transport.

Download or read book Air Transport and General Agreement on Trade in Services A Case for Ground Handling Services written by Sumangal Narendra and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the status of the Air Transport in General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) vis-à-vis opening of the Aviation Ground Handling market. The study is focused on the developments in terms of open market access to aviation ground handling services and developments in the GATS Air Transport Review. There is a considerable research body and studies available on the liberalization in the network industries like telecommunication and air transport and a few requests have been received for taking the commitment for aviation ground handling services. However, here the focus is to discuss the developments and seek possible answers to the status of aviation ground handling services under the GATS. This paper attempts to address the questions that arose during the explorative research: Does the GATS Air Transport Annex in its present form fulfill requirement of addressing the developments and changes in the air transport sector? Is there a need for extending the GATS coverage to include some more auxiliary services? Can Ground handling services be considered as services directly related to the 'traffic rights' which are out of the purview of the GATS? Another dimension to liberalization is the safety and security concerns of the State. The air transport is regulated traditionally by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for the signatories of the ICAO Chicago Convention of 1944. ICAO prescribes the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) for all areas of aviation operation - personnel licensing, aerodrome licensing, safety and security and environmental concerns. With the liberalization in services and emergence of GATS as the platform for cross-border trade in services, air transport faces another question - the role and interface between the ICAO and GATS in terms of regulations of the same sector. GATS has the limited coverage of air transport in its Annex, exempting the sector except for the specified three auxiliary services, which does not include the aviation ground handling services. Aviation ground handling services market is growing with the growth and the liberalization in the sector. The study reveals that the Member States may consider the requests and negotiate to file the commitments under GATS even for the aviation ground handling services, but it does not directly lead to open market access for the ground handling services suppliers who face the constraints of the Infrastructure, Domestic regulations and national and international obligations of safety and security in aviation operations. Domestic policies and regulatory environment play a major role being the main influencers for market access. Conclusions and limitations of the study are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The economic regulation of air transport is a field that was, in large part, left out from the Chicago Convention of 1944 drafted at the Chicago Conference, due to a lack of agreement amongst the participants. Since then, ICAO has made numerous unsuccessful attempts to fill this void. With the inclusion of air transport services in the General Agreement on Trade in Services of 1993, the subject has once again come to the forefront of the aviation liberalization efforts." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the legal and regulatory aspects of the complex air cargo sector, discussing in detail the general principles of the carriage of air cargo; artificial intelligence and air cargo; facilitation; carriage of hazardous goods; human remains; and animals, as well as cargo security; price fixing and anti competitive conduct in air cargo operations; liability issues; the air cargo supply chain and contract of carriage.

On average, airlines transport 52 million metric tons of goods per annum, worth an equivalent of $6.8 trillion, i.e. $18.6 billion worth of goods daily.
