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.
