Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this publication, the author examines the legal and policy aspects of air transport liberalization. While focusing on Northeast Asia, the central theme of the book is a regional approach to liberalizing the international air transport market. The author critically analyzes the legal barriers to air transport liberalization and highlights that regional approaches have emerged in most parts of the world. While noting that progress has been slower in Northeast Asia, the author prescribes solutions for Northeast Asian open skies. The author further emphasizes the role of airlines in promoting liberalization, arguing that airlines have become active reformers of government regulations.

Download or read book Liberalization in Aviation written by Hartmut Wolf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few decades have witnessed substantial liberalization trends in various industries and countries. Starting with the deregulation of the US airline industry in 1978, regulatory restructuring took place in further network industries such as telecommunications, electricity or railways in various countries around the world. Although most of the liberalization movements were initially triggered by the worrying performances of the respective regulatory frameworks, increases in competition and corresponding improvements in allocative and productive efficiency were typically associated with the respective liberalization efforts. From an academic perspective, the transition from regulated industries to liberalized industries has attracted a substantial amount of research reflected in many books and research articles which can be distilled to three main questions: (1) What are the forces that have given rise to regulatory reform? (2) What is the structure of the regulatory change which has occurred to date and is likely to occur in the immediate future? (3) What have been the effects on industry efficiency, prices and profits of the reforms which have occurred to date? Liberalization in Aviation brings together renowned academics and practitioners from around the world to address all three questions and draw policy conclusions. The book is divided into five sections, in turn dealing with aspects of competition in various liberalized markets, the emergence and growth of low-cost carriers, horizontal mergers and alliances, infrastructures, and concluding with economic assessments of liberalization steps so far and proposed steps in the future.

Download or read book ITF Research Reports Liberalisation of Air Transport written by International Transport Forum and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation is one of the most regulated industries in the world. Much of this regulation is safety-related, to mitigate the inherent risks tied with air transport. But aviation is also subject to economic regulation that influences which airline flies which route, at which frequency, capacity and price. It even stipulates the nationality of its owners and decision makers. Aviation has freed itself from some restrictions over the past three decades, with many benefits to society. Yet liberalisation has also raised issues with regard to maintaining fair competition, high labour standards and mitigating aviation’s growing environmental impact.

Download or read book Harmonising Regulatory and Antitrust Regimes for International Air Transport written by Jan Walulik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harmonising Regulatory and Antitrust Regimes for International Air Transport addresses the timely and problematic issue of lack of uniformity in legal standards for international civil aviation. The book focuses on discrepancies within the regulatory and antitrust framework, comprehensively reveals the major legal limitations and conflicts, and presents possible solutions thereto. It discusses possible strategies for multilateralisation and defragmentation of air law, and for international harmonisation of airline economic regulation with fair competition standards. This discussion extends to competition between air transport law and other legal regimes as well as to specific regulatory problems related to air transport. The unique feature of the book is that it reconciles distinct perspectives on these issues presented by renowned aviation and aerospace experts who represent the world’s key air transport markets and air law academic centres. By providing unbiased solutions that could serve as a base for future international arrangements, this book will be invaluable for aviation professionals, as well as students and scholars with an interest in air law, economic regulation, antitrust studies, international relations, transportation policy and airline management.

Download or read book Efficiency and Competitiveness of International Airlines written by Almas Heshmati and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the factors that support the strengths of international airlines in general and the Asian airline carriers in particular. Defining the quality of human capital as the level of education and the competence of airline employees, it analyzes the efficiency of 39 airlines in various regions, both in terms of production and cost structures. It argues that, despite Asia’s well-developed and globally competitive manufacturing sector, aided by open market practices, its overall service sector still lags far behind more advanced economies. As this does not stop Asia-based carriers from generally being more efficient than their counterparts in Europe and North America, the book investigates how competitiveness analysis of the airline industry can help Asian policymakers better prepare for the liberalization of the service sector, given how crucial this aspect is for the future growth of the Asia-Pacific region. Efficiency and Competitiveness of International Airlines offers a valuable resource for policymakers, airline employees, and researchers and students of microeconomics.

Book excerpt: As America's grand experiment with airline deregulation nears the end of its first decade, European carriers and their governments are examining it closely, pondering their own form of liberalization. Whatever its final design, the European plan will require consideration of a wider and more complex spectrum of variables than its American counterpart. Airline liberalization in Europe involves a plethora of competing legal, economic and political interests. The principal actors include scores of privately and publicly owned or subsidized airlines, the twelve nation European Economic Community (EEC), and a number of air transport associations including the Association of European Airlines (AEA), the International Air Transport Association (lATA), and the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC). The issue is further complicated by a host of bilateral agreements and a growing regional air transport market. European nations, particularly those belonging to the European Economic Community, are entering a new era in air transport. While this industry has traditionally been heavily regulated, many of the EEC states are re-examining their positions and moving toward liberalization of the regulatory environment. The Council, whose members represent the Member States, is responsible for carrying out the objectives of the EEC through legislative enactments. The Commission, comprised of nonpartisan members chosen by common agreement by the Member States, gives recommendations and advisory opinions to the Council. Parliament works for the benefit of the EEC as a whole and has the duty of advising the Council on issues relevant to the development of the EEC. The Court of Justice interprets the provisions of the Treaty of Rome and enforces its requirements. Each of these governing bodies has its own conception of how the competition rules of the Treaty of Rome should be applied to air transport. Significantly, in December 1987, the EEC Council issued its long-awaited regulations applying the Treaty of Rome's competition rules to scheduled air transport, group exemptions thereto, a directive on scheduled air fares, and a decision on capacity sharing and market access. These are set forth as Appendices A-D, respectively, to this article. With 1992 established as the target for European economic unification, the heat is on to liberalize air transport. This article will examine the contemporary status of competition in the European air transport industry and the efforts by the EEC, air transport organizations, and individual states and airlines to encourage liberalization. The political, legal, and economic winds unleashed by the debate over liberalization are creating increased turbulence in the skies over Europe.

Download or read book Open Skies for Africa written by Charles E Schlumberger and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa, where poor roads, ports, and railways often constrain efficient transportation, air transport holds great potential as a lever for economic growth and development. Yet Africa has suffered several decades of inefficient air services. Uncompetitive flag carriers, set up by newly independent African states, offered primarily intercontinental flights, while the domestic air service market remained underdeveloped and underserved. The 1999 pan-African treaty on liberalization of access to air transport markets, the Yamoussoukro Decision, attempted to address these shortcomings. Yet a decade later, only partial liberalization has been achieved. 'Open Skies for Africa: Implementing the Yamoussoukro Decision' reviews progress made in carrying out the treaty and suggests ways in which the liberalization process can be encouraged. The book analyzes the completed and still-pending steps toward implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision, both on a pan-African level and within various regions. Special focus is given to the challenges posed by the poor aviation safety and security standards that exist in most African countries. Finally, the book measures the impact that certain policy steps of the Yamoussoukro Decision have had and evaluates the economic significance of air transportation and its full liberalization in Africa. The book concludes that the process of liberalizing African air services must continue, and provides policy recommendations for the way forward.

Download or read book Airline Deregulation written by Kenneth Button and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the twentieth century saw remarkable changes in the way that economic regulation was viewed. There occurred a liberalization of attitude and something of a withdrawal of the state from its interventionist role. These changes were particularly pronounced in the context of transport, where the long-standing tradition had been one of market intervention by the government. The aim of this book, first published in 1991, is to examine the outcomes of deregulation on the international airline industry, and to consider whether the experiences of market liberalization reveal any common threads. In particular, whether they reveal any universal indications of how underlying transport markets function; how management responds to new stimuli; the degree of protection needed by transport users; and nature of the transition process from regulation to liberalization.

Download or read book China s Trade Policy on International Air Transport written by Chrystal Zhang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a political–economic analysis of China’s transformation to become a global aviation power. It aims to identify the driving forces that have shaped China’s ever-evolving international air transport policy direction and goals in the past four decades and further determines how and to what extent these driving forces have shaped China’s considerations and strategies when executing its policy goals through bilateral air services negotiations. The findings reveal that China’s international air transport policymaking has remained in the domain of the country’s aviation regulator, which has enjoyed an exclusivity to exercise its power on the air transport sector. The book argues that China’s international air transport policy direction is in alignment with the country’s overall strategic mission and its goal is set to support the country’s endeavour to realise the “China dream.” It concludes that factors at all levels interact with each other with a far-reaching impact on the country’s policy direction and goal setting; however, these factors are constrained by time and circumstances. The book is a must-read for a wide array of audiences, including, but not limited to, scholars and industry professionals who have an interest in China’s political economy, policymaking, international trade, government behaviour, corporate political activities, air transport, aviation liberalisation, and bilateral negotiations.

Download or read book The Geographies of Air Transport written by Andrew R. Goetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 300 pages. 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) and others 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. Although globalization and liberalization processes have greatly expanded the demand for air transport over the last two decades, the industry has experienced several major setbacks due to economic, security, and environmental concerns. Many of these impacts have been much more pronounced in some regions, such as North America and Europe while others, such as Asia-Pacific have not been as adversely affected. Accordingly, there is a clear need to examine these recent economic and geopolitical changes from a geographical perspective given the differentiated pattern of effects from global processes. Addressing this need, this volume opens with thematic chapters covering key topics such as the historical geographies, socio-cultural mobilities, environmental externalities, urban geographies, and sustainability of the global air transport industry, followed by regional analysis of the industry in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Greater Middle East and Africa as well as North America and Europe.
