This title was first published in 2000: A comprehensive assessment of the markets and outlook for the air transport industry in the Asia-Pacific region. The book examines options for improvement of the regulatory system and industry structure, drawing on experience within and outside of the region. It includes the short- and long-term effects of the current economic crisis on Asian airlines and air transport markets and differs from other works due to its description and analysis of all major aspects of the Asian air transport industry and airlines.

The air transport industry is one of the most rapidly growing in the Asia Pacific region. However, the airlines of the region face a number of challenges. These include not only a number of commercial issues but also the reform of the policy environment. How will consumers be affected as the industry and the regulators respond? These challenges and questions are examined in this timely and authoritative book on the air transport industry and its future direction. A separate edition for Australia and New Zealand is available from Australia Japan Research Centre.

Covers low-cost carrier growth in Japan, competition against full service hub carriers in the Middle East, aviation market liberalization in Central Asia, high-speed-rail and airline competition in China, air transport and tourism in Asia and Australia, airline performance and outsourcing, airports development, and airport-airline cooperation.

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.
