• Abstract:
  International air transportation is the fastest growing segment of transportation. It performs a major function in the globalization process and is a significant feature of the late 20th century. Public policy regarding international air transportation has undergone a big change in recent years as markets liberalized and airlines privatized. New management techniques, partly stimulated by enhanced information technology systems, have resulted in significant changes on the air services supply side. Aircraft and air traffic control systems have improved. These developments pose new challenges for those responsible for overall policy and for those supplying air transportation services. Successfully confronting these issues requires a solid and relevant statistical database. This paper sets out to explore the data that are available, highlights their strengths and limitations, and indicates areas where improved statistics may be beneficial.
