Air Transport’s Role in Global Transportation

Details of the Paper

The economic role that aviation plays in countries’ economies varies greatly – some as high as
16% of GDP and some as low as 1% of GDP (in the U.S., it’s about 5% of GDP). For this
discussion, you will select a European, Asian, or African country and research the impact that
aviation plays in its economy (usually reported as a percent of the country’s GDP). Use what you
have learned in the earlier activities to critically analyze that country’s transportation system and
postulate reasons behind the role that aviation plays.
