The Economics and Political Economy of African Air Transport fills an emerging void in the literature regarding Africa's aviation markets. Its original papers focus explicitly on the economic and political dimensions of the subject, although with relevance to the strategic planning and management of airlines and their associated infrastructure. 'This book is most welcome for many reasons. It comprehensively examines a rarely analysed region, covering the policy background to African aviation, explores the airlines and their networks, and assesses the infrastructure, labour market and efficiency problems they face.' - Peter Forsyth, Monash University and Southern Cross University
