This paper estimates the relationship between the strength of economic shocks and temporal recovery in the world air transport industry. Our results show that world recovery of passenger demand to pre-COVID-19 levels is estimated to take 2.4 years (recovery by late-2022), with the most...

The majority of light aviation aircrafts cabins are unpressurised and this may pose risks for the safety of both pilots and passengers. As altitude increases partial oxygen pressure decreases and this situation may lead to early stages of hypoxia affecting pilot's capabilities to perform simple...

This paper examines the case for internationally coordinated indirect taxes on aviation (as a source of general revenue-not (necessarily) as a source of development finance). The case for such taxes is strong: the tax burden on international aviation is currently limited, yet it contributes...

A simulation model of international tourist flows is used to estimate the impact of a carbon tax on aviation fuel. The effect of the tax on travel behaviour is small: A global $1000/tC would change travel behaviour to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from international aviation by 0.8%. This is...

This article describes the factors supporting inter-firm cooperation in the form of international airline alliances. It presents the benefits of such cooperative agreements by drawing conclusions from related empirical literature examination under a structure-conduct-performance paradigm. The...

This paper examines the economic regulation of international civil aviation with a view to debunking a number of myths surrounding it. The focus is on public international law understood in its classical construct. The economic regulation of international civil aviation came about in the...

Expenditures for research and development (R&D) of technology are increasing since most countries recognize that technology innovations are a significant factor for their economic growth. Under the World Trade Organization (WTO) system, R&D subsidies by governmental entities were permitted in...

Non-aeronautical business has been a key sector for airports seeking to improve their viability. This study analyzes the commercial performance of airports using a panel dataset of 75 airports in 30 countries. Applying pooled OLS, random effects and 3SLS estimation frameworks, we identify the...
