The Impact of Liberalizing International Aviation Bilaterals: The Case Study of the Northern German Region by Holger Hinsch, David W. Gillen, Hartmut Wolf, Benedikt Mandel

From the Publisher

"Liberalization for the aviation industry, especially bilateral agreements, has so far been analysed only at the national level in terms of welfare. Most studies have a national or aggregate focus and determine the extent to which a country's approach to international aviation policy affects the success of its national carriers, air travelers, tourism industries, and economies." "This book looks at intra-country impacts of air service agreements (ASAs). In addition, the study quantifies the impact on the Northern German region." "The book is of interest to government, industry and academic specialists: to transport and aviation economists, trade and competition policy and regional economists; in the aviation industry: to airports, and their respective organizations such as IATA, ACI; in the field of politics: to those in national and the German governments, the EU-Commission, and regional municipalities with international airports."--BOOK JACKET.

A collaborative study (jointly funded by Germany's Hamburg Airport and the State Ministry of Economic Affairs) of the regional economic effects on second-tier airports of liberalization of bilateral agreements in the EU market. Liberalization has intensified competition among regions and has increased the volume of direct intercontinental flights, but at the same time has driven many of those flights out of regions with second-tier non-hub airports. The main question addressed is how those regions can effectively compete in this new atmosphere. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
