Review: The aim of this book is to give a comprehensive assessment of the current markets and outlook for the industry in the Asia Pacific region. It also examines the options for improvement and development of the regulatory system and industry structure which will draw on experience from both within and outside the region. The short- and long-term effects of the current economic crisis on Asian airlines and air transport are discussed. There are chapters on: the current status and future prospects of traffic in Asia Pacific; aviation development in North- and South-east Asia; current regulatory approaches; international aviation reform and the U.S. open skies initiative; challenges for airlines and governments and approaches to liberalisation; infrastructure and logistics hub development; and the Asian economic crisis and its impact on air transport.
