Once in the shadow of larger and more prosperous continents, the Asia Pacific is now at the forefront of expansion in commercial air-service networks, frequency and capacity, and the overall growth in the contribution of air transport to economies of regions and individual countries. Despite this, it is generally under-represented in the commercial air-transport academic literature. This book fills the gap. While one volume cannot realistically address the complete range of identifiable issues, it offers a contemporary snapshot of current academic research into commercial air transport in the Asia Pacific.
