Flying Off Course Third Edition

This book is a must for anyone contemplating a study of the aviation industry. Being myself an avid aviation enthusiast and an Economics student at the London School Of Economics, I have relished every single chapter of the book and it proved instrumental in applying some concepts of core Microeconomic Theory to the Airline Business. The book is written in a clear and comprehensible way and the chapters are lightly intertwined in a way that will suscitate the general interest of the reader. In addition to the cogency and incisiveness of the chapters, Professor Doganis succeeds in stiking 2 birds with one stone's throw when it comes to dissociate the practical side from the empirical side.

In a synopsis, i would put this book in the top of list if i were to recommend to my students- should i myself become a Professor of Airline Economics and Finance later on

The past few weeks I noticed some articles in the newspaper about all kinds of airline gettogethers, nice talks, interesting promises and large headlines. If only the authors of these articles had read this book, they would have avoided words as 'surprising', 'news of the day' and 'new policy?'. Doganis explains it all in his book, and in such a way that I liked it, remembered it and am still capable of reproducing. To me it was an excellent introduction to a field, far from my bed.

Probably the best introduction into the economics of airlines ever written.

Superb! This text clearly explains the complex economic issues surrounding airlines today, including social and political perspectives. By far the best available resource for potential (or current) airline managers to help understand the driving forces in today's global airline industry. Certainly acceptable for any level of higher academic study, the text looks at economic paradigms driving the industry and provides a fresh perspective of the perils facing airilnes in the 21st century.

The former Olympic Airways Chairman (now Professor of Air Transport at the prestigious Cranfield University, UK) provides a magnificent overview of the economics of international airlines. The title refers to airlines' apparent inability to satisfy the most basic of economic necessities: matching supply and demand
