Over the past two decades, the organization and provision of air
traffic control (ATC) services has been dramatically transformed.
Privatization and commercialization of air navigation has become
commonplace. Far-reaching reforms, under a variety of
organizational structures and aviation settings, have occurred
across the world, most notably in Canada, Britain, Australia, New
Zealand, and South Africa. In contrast, innovations have lagged
behind in other countries - including the United States. In
addition, much recent attention has been given to aviation
infrastructure and safety in Africa, in some parts of Asia and
Latin America, and in rapidly growing air markets including India
and China. In response, the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association
(IATA), and multilateral banks and institutions have launched a
major effort to improve the performance and safety of civil
aviation in developing economies. Managing the Skies has been
written to provide a guide to what has been tried in air traffic
management, what has worked, and what lessons might be learned. The
book starts with an introduction to air navigation, its development
and current state, as well as trends in aviation activity. It
examines in detail the experiences of ATC in both mature and
emerging markets across the world, considering many alternative
models, efforts to restructure and comparisons of performance. The
book contains several in-depth case studies to provide a truly
global perspective of ATC practices. Particular attention is given
to the FAA and its efforts and challenges in reforming ATC in the
US, both historically and in the current climate. It addresses the
issues of finance, organization, investment, and safety
restructuring and reform options that are at the core of current
debates involving air traffic control in the United States. Further
to this, the authors discuss the alternatives available for future
change. The book concludes by examining the cross-cutting issues of
labor relations and organizational structures, presenting the
lessons learned and considering what the future may hold. As the
world experiences a resurgence in air travel and civil aviation,
the issues discussed in Managing the Skies are particularly timely
not only for industry and government leaders, but for the world's
air travelers.
