Title: INTERNATIONAL AVIATION

Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The workshop on international aviation reviewed significant events and trends in global air transportation. The Panel premised their deliberations on six concepts: (1) As time goes on, air transportation will become more and more like any other business. This means that industry/government interface will decrease, national ownership requirements will diminish, and the industry will be managed more by strong generic marketers and financiers than by industry specialists. (2) In a world where air transport ceases to be a protected industry, a new kind of industry structure will evolve. (3) As the trend towards large global air carriers evolves and government regulatory involvement diminishes, airlines will also begin to own and/or manage the operating infrastructure they use to do business. (4) If air transportation becomes like any other industry, it will no longer be protected from the extremes of the economic cycle. This could have significant management and performance implications. (5) Several trends over the next three to five years will affect the air carrier industry and the development of aviation infrastructure. (Nine trends are listed.) (6) There are several major unknowns that will affect international air transport and any projections of its future. (These are listed.) These concepts allowed the Panel to channel discussion of present and future trends and to develop an evolutionary scenario for international air transport. Concerning data needs, the Panel found that, while the need for exchange of data between air carriers and other elements of the international aviation system has never been greater, competitive pressure between international carriers may not prove to be the ideal environment for enhanced exchange of data among the various parties.
