Air transportation in developing countries

Cases taken from the history of airlines of the third world are presented. The examples are chosen to note the commonalities and differences of these airlines in such matters as evolution, policy, organizational structure, and problem areas. The help or hindrance that advanced nations are providing for improving the aviation systems of the developing countries is examined in chapter VII. Aviation technology is considered as an example of technology transfer. The focus is primarily upon the United States and the International Civil Aviation Organization. Finally, some conclusions about the future of air transportation in developing countries are drawn.
