MoreLong description:
This book stems from a series of biennial conferences devoted to issues affecting air-transport provision in remoter regions that have been organized by the Centre for Air Transport in Remoter Regions at Cranfield University. The primary aim of the conferences has been to provide an opportunity for those responsible for operating, managing, regulating and financing air transport services and associated infrastructure in these areas to be informed of the latest best-practice initiatives, to contrast different policy approaches and to debate potential solutions to perennial problems. Remoter regions has been a neglected area of air transport, as much of the focus of public and media attention is on the larger airlines, airports and aircraft. While the number of large airports in the world is in the hundreds, there are many thousands of smaller airports providing communities all over the globe with vital air links. More often than not these services and the airports to which they are operated are loss making and require subsidies to sustain them. There are therefore many more interested parties involved in both providing and deciding issues relating to the provision of air transport in these situations, most especially central, regional and local governments who are charged with financing these activities. The book contains 17 chapters from experts in remote-region air transport, within the following 5 sections: - Key economic and socio-economic issues - Subvention mechanisms - Route development initiatives - Infrastructure provision - Issues affecting the provision of air services in remoter regions.
'Williams and Brathen, through the papers presented in Air Transport Provision in Remoter Regions, provide a wealth of information on issues that are faced by airport professionals in remote areas of Europe and Asia. More importantly, the editors recognised early in the forum process that the challenges faced by those operating and managing airports in remote regions of Europe are not unique but shared by airport managers and air service providers throughout the world. Readers will certainly be glad the editors have shared their insights and continue to provide a forum to address the issues associated with air service in the less travelled areas of the planet.' Journal of Airport Management, Vol 5 No 3, 2011 ?Overall this book provides invaluable insights into the financial, regulatory, technical and environmental challenges facing air transport in serving more remote regions.? The Aerospace Professional, June 2012
