‘Air Transport Networks provides an overall synthesis of air transportation networks by looking at passenger and cargo aspects of the industry as well as airports. . .

The bibliography is detailed and provides an excellent reference for those who want to examine further the topics discussed in the book. This text would make a worthy addition to the graduate level courses dealing with public policy in the air transportation or transportation in general.’
