Description

For forty-five years and sixteen editions, Air Transportation was the passion of Bob Kane. Now, Professors Steve Adams and Don Gallion have picked up and carried Kane's work into a new streamlined edition that takes a more holistic approach to air transportation. The 17th edition broadens the scope to focus on the operation of the industry and the interdependence of its components.

• Regulatory processes
• Aircraft, airports, and airmen
• Airspace and air traffic control
• Aviation security
• Careers in aviation
• Influence of aviation on the economy, people and culture, and the environment

The impact of aviation has been felt in all fields of human endeavours. Open up to examine the building blocks of this incredible industry that has so much changed the history of human civilization.
