'...anyone interested in the future of European airlines will find this book stimulating reading. Kenneth Button sounds a warning about the prospects of European airlines, documenting the rapid changes they have coped with over the years and the problem of covering costs. Button's prognosis is a challenging one - the current situation is not sustainable, the solutions not obvious.' Professor Peter Forsyth, Monash University, Australia. 'All in all this is a stimulating book and is highly recommended. It may perhaps be of most use to those already well versed in the issues discussed, but there is much food for thought here for everybody with an interest in European air transport.' The Aerospace Professional, September 2005:-

• Contents: Introduction; Do we need air transport; How is the European air transport market developing? Is the market segmenting?; Is the current structure sustainable?; Conclusions; Annex I: European Union air transport policy; Annex II: airline deregulation elsewhere; Glossary of Terms; References; Index.
