This work presents a comprehensive and innovative insight into civil aviation policy development. It approaches aviation policy from a strategic planning perspective focusing on country's national conditions which enable it to compete internationally and to drive more economic benefits from sound aviation policy decisions. The work also presents a paradigm for aviation policy development based on international benchmarks of successful civil aviation strategies. It also includes a case study that serves as a link between theory and practice. A Strategic Planning Approach to Civil Aviation Policy Development is ideal for students, lecturers and researchers of air transport topics, and policy makers and practitioners within the aviation industry.
