ABSTRACT
Introduction Asia represents one of the fastest growing regions in the world with respect to both tourism and transport. Forecasts from airframe manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus continue to point to the Asia-Pacic region as one with signicant and sustainable growth potential. Many Asian destinations are beneting from major shifts in markets and market access, including large intercontinental growth by China, India and Japan, substantially more connections between the Middle East and India, and the growth of secondary airports in China (e.g., Hangzhou, Chengdu) (Flightglobal 2014).
