In the last 30 years, most developed nations have corporatized
their air navigation service providers, providing significant
benefits to the travelling public and national economies. At a time
when one of the last holdouts - the United States - is once again
discussing the corporatization of its air traffic control system,
Dr. Neiva's book presents a thorough analysis of the issues that
other countries have had to deal with when they corporatized their
systems. This book should not be missed by anyone who wants a
detailed study of a very important policy, transportation, and
economic topic.' - Jim Burnley, Former US Secretary of
Transportation, US'Not every book has the potential to change the
world, but this one does. Dr. Neiva's research and analysis of the
US experience with respect to air traffic control, and his
extensive look at how other countries provide these services, could
help make history. The US is now seriously considering major
reforms to its air traffic services, and access to objective,
thoughtful, and rigorous research like this is essential reading
for policy makers and academics alike.' - Joshua Schank, CEO and
President, Eno Center for Transportation, DC, US 'The changing
structure and growth of global aviation has resulted in major
challenges for the capacity, organization, and financing of air
navigation. Rui Neiva's book presents a thorough review of the
governance and performance of air navigation providers worldwide.
The use of a variety of economic analyses provides new insights
about the drivers of air traffic control performance, including
important findings about the effects of
commercialization/privatization and the benefits of airspace
reform. The book's analysis of productivity across European air
navigation service providers is especially well done. The book is
an important - and timely - contribution to the future development
of aviation infrastructure.' - John Strong, College of William and
Mary, US Institutional Reform of Air Navigation Service Providers
deals with the changes that have taken place in this major,
technologically progressive industry as many countries moved away
from direct provision by the government to forms of corporate or
private provision. The author provides an up-to-date institutional
and economic analysis of air navigation service providers efforts
to reform their governance and funding structures under these
changes. The book discusses air navigation service providers in
great detail, with a focus on the historical evolution of the
industry's institutional and regulatory frameworks as well as the
ongoing developments in the industry (e.g. the Single European Sky
in Europe and NextGen in the US). The author departs from the more
conventional quasi-descriptive analysis by performing economic and
econometric analyses of the industry that explicitly include
institutional variables, e.g. to explore whether the nature of
ownership can be associated with different economic efficiency
outcomes. The result is a rigorous assessment of the structures of
various air navigation service providers, strengthened by the use
of case studies and policy analysis of potential reform. The theme
and scope of this book will appeal to anyone interested in the
institutional and regulatory history of air navigation service
providers, and its accessible approach will appeal to policy-makers
and professionals as well as people who are interested, more
broadly, in economic regulation.
