"While most developed economies have deregulated their domestic airline industry, international aviation still remains more rather than less regulated, although there are regional trade pacts in Europe, North America and Australasia. The deregulation of Aviation infrastructure has followed carrier deregulation by over a decade, including airports, and in some cases, air traffic control systems. There are lessons to be learned from the rich array of experiences of these different jurisdictions that are faced with their own set of challenges from both domestic and international aviation. This tour d'horizon reviews airport regulation and competition in different regions of the world and provides a contrast of the many perspectives. Organized in four parts, the first three examine in turn Australasia, North America and Europe while the last section looks at the institutional Reforms that have taken place in these regions. It deals with regulation of Airports, and competition in different regions, as well as privatization policy, the interaction with airlines, and regional economics. It also examines the linkages between governance structures and forms of regulation." (from the front flap of the dust jacket).
