Transport, economics, business, and engineering specialists from Australia, Europe, North America, Asia, and Brazil offer 13 chapters on airline efficiency. They address airline productivity, including productivity growth for different global regions and methodologies used to estimate growth and efficiency; sources of efficiency, including fuel efficiency differences, efficiency in different stages of production, and the contributions of technological change, mergers, and low-cost carrier competition; and the cost and scope of operations, including all-cargo efficiency, gains from airline/high-speed rail cooperation, and airport economics of scope in passenger and freight operations.
