Airlines, like most industries, contain a mixture of good and badly
managed companies (and perhaps more important, lucky and unlucky
companies). More important in the longer-run is the institutional
structure in which the companies offer their services. Air
transport is a major industry in its own right. But it is also the
fastest growing mode of transport for both passengers and freight,
a large employer of labour, at the forefront of many technological
developments and often a pioneer in adopting such innovations. It
is the source of important economic stimuli for local economic
development. This book examines the current state of European
airlines - mainly, but not exclusively, those within the EU and the
European Economic Area (EEA). It seeks in particular to determine
if the current institutional structure provides a sustainable basis
for the continued vitality of air transport as a facilitator of
economic development, and it can serve as an input into wider
matters involving the social and political integration within
Europe. It also includes material on airports, slots and security.
It provides the opportunity to look at factors that currently
influence the efficiency of European airlines and to see how the
industry has moved to meet these challenges. The book is also
designed to be accessible with a glossary at the end, definitions
of key terms and concepts, a list of abbreviations and acronyms and
two annexes that provide more details of the European air transport
market within the wider international regulatory system. The
readership includes all concerned with airline and airport
management, including regulators and government departments of
transportation, and researchers in air transport. While of main
interest to those in Europe, it is also important to all who are
dealing with similar questions in other continents, and all
concerned with inter-continental air transport provision. In the
current aviation context the key features of the book are: "
