Book Reviews of An Introduction to Airline Economics
Book Review: A concise and well structured text to study economic issues involved in airline management
Summary: 4 Stars
William O'Connor's concise text on issues involved in the modern airline industry should serve as a valuable guide and reference to students interested in pursuing careers in aviation mangement. The author examines economic principles and concepts and how they relate to the daily operations of airline companies without using the often complicated and confusing tools of quantitative applications. This book is an excellent qualitative analysis of the usefulness of economic concepts to study the important functions of air transport and how the efficient utilization of limited resources and choices may yield optimal results for air carriers.
While this book is not intended as a detailed technical analysis of the airline industry, it can serve as a useful introductory text to help students familiarize themselves with relevant concerns and issues impacting the current state of air travel and the importance of aviation to any economic system. The student need not have a strong desire to study economics to understand and to appreciate the economic principles that O'Connor discusses throughout his text. The references that the author uses are quite impressive and should stimulate the student to do further research for his/her own personal interests.
As an instructor of economics, I would highly recommend this text to students interested in aviation management,who wish to have a cursory exposure to economic principles and their relevance to the aviation industry. The book is straightforward and comprehensible and will serve as a useful guide that may motivate students to appreciate the significance of the airline industry to the economic growth and well-being of any country.
