The dissertation concerns the role of the international airline industry in economic development, using Singapore as a case study. Few nations have harnessed the international airline industry to greater advantage than Singapore. Singapore's flag carrier, Singapore Airlines (SIA), is one of the largest airlines in the world, operating to points across the globe. SIA's success has contributed to rapid economic development in Singapore. The airline is an important generator of skilled employment, a conduit for the introduction of high technology into the local economy, and an impetus to the emergence of higher value-added services and manufacturing in Singapore. Moreover, Singapore Airlines is only one of more than fifty commercial carriers serving Singapore. Collectively, these carriers provide Singapore with a very high level of connectivity in the global airline industry, and the global economy more generally. That connectivity facilitates the transition of the Singapore economy towards knowledge-intensive manufacturing and international business services, two sectors of increasing importance in the national economy.

520 $a The dissertation concerns the role of the international airline industry in economic development, using Singapore as a case study. Few nations have harnessed the international airline industry to greater advantage than Singapore. Singapore's flag carrier, Singapore Airlines (SIA), is one of the largest airlines in the world, operating to points across the globe. SIA's success has contributed to rapid economic development in Singapore. The airline is an important generator of skilled employment, a conduit for the introduction of high technology into the local economy, and an impetus to the emergence of higher value-added services and manufacturing in Singapore. Moreover, Singapore Airlines is only one of more than fifty commercial carriers serving Singapore. Collectively, these carriers provide Singapore with a very high level of connectivity in the global airline industry, and the global economy more generally. That connectivity facilitates the transition of the Singapore economy towards knowledge-intensive manufacturing and international business services, two sectors of increasing importance in the national economy.
520 $a The prominence of the global airline industry in Singapore reflects the city-state's favored location in the geography of international air travel. Singapore occupies a strategic position astride major intercontinental air traffic corridors and is the dominant air traffic hub within Southeast Asia. However, a key theme of the dissertation is that no city occupies a fixed position in the geography of the global airline industry. The 1980s were a period of especially rapid change in that geography. The geography of air travel has been reshaped by the introduction of new aircraft models, the liberalization of trade in air services among many major nations, the emergence of the Pacific Rim as the dominant locomotive in the global economy, increasing market concentration in the international airline industry, airport congestion around the world, and political change, especially in the former Soviet Union and China. The emerging geography of the global airline industry resulting from these forces is assessed and its implications for Singapore and for contemporary developing nations are considered.
