Diagnostics of world aviation network development state and features

Abstract. Introduction. Modern trends in transport sector involve traditional views changing both to the operation of transport systems and their individual components. Aviation networks development creates additional competitive advantages to national economies and it is the most effective tool of integration into the global transport system.

Purpose. To explore features and set the main trends of the global aviation network in the context of globalization.

Results. The necessity of the global aviation network analyzing has been grounded in the research. An integrated scientific and methodical approach to the aviation network analysis has been proposed. The diagnostics of the global aviation network development features was conducted and the basic trends were specified. The global aviation network analysis permitted to identify the main trends of its development, namely: liberalization of the passenger and freight transport markets; intensification of the «open skies» policy implementation, which expands international aviation network resources and influences airlines’ economic benefits; enhancement of the Middle East and Asia states’ role in the air transport networks development; increase of investment in the aviation networks development; growth of the air transportation share in the global transport system.

Conclusion. Stronger impact of globalization on the global aviation networks functioning has led to new ideas concerning national and international transport networks functioning as a whole. In result, common trends and determinants of the international aviation network development have been established.
