Now in its Seventh Edition, "Air Transportation: A Management Perspective" by John Wensveen is a proven textbook that offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of air transportation management. In addition to explaining the fundamentals, this book now takes the reader to the leading edge of the discipline, using past and present trends to forecast future challenges the industry may face and encouraging the reader to really think about the decisions a manager implements. The Seventh Edition brings the text right up to date with a new opening chapter, titled 'The Airline Industry: Trends, Challenges and Strategies', setting the context for all that follows within the book, and a new section within 'International Aviation' that explores the new airline business models. New and updated material has been added throughout the text and overall presents a more international perspective. Arranged in sharply focused parts and accessible sections, the exposition is clear and reader-friendly. "Air Transportation: A Management Perspective" is suitable for almost all aviation programs that feature business and management. Its student-friendly structure and style make it highly suitable for modular courses and distance-learning programmes, or for self-directed study and continuing personal professional development.

Excellent book for pleasure or education
Reviewed in the United States on 8 February 2016Verified Purchase
Excellent, easy-to-read book on air transportation as a system, including airlines and general aviation knowledge from the systems and business side. I had it as a text book for a graduate course, and must say, one of the best reads for anything. I'd recommend getting a copy just out of interest, as it truly offers a ton of information. Excited to see what future updates have, especially given the mergers.

Too wordy
Reviewed in Germany on 5 May 2014Verified Purchase
Although the author's knowledge is admirable, this book is too wordy. At times, I couldn't help but wonder what point he was trying to make. Often, he gives a very detailed historic account of how air transportation developed in the US, but omits to explain the underlying causes and interrelations.

Hart zu lesen, weil nicht gefällig in der Darstellung. Zu sehr auf die USA konzentriert. Viele Tabellen aber kaum Darstellung der Zusammenhänge.
