The NEW edition of Aviation and the Role of Government by Harry Lawrence of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, features revisions of almost all chapters and four completely rewritten chapters, as well as new statutes and cases added throughout.

Aviation and the Role of Government includes:

• updates to cover significant aviation related events in government and in transportation
• legacy airline practices, low cost carriers, effects of bankruptcy and merger, effects of deregulation on airlines and airports, and airline profitability and labor
• NextGen implementation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and environmental developments affecting airlines and airports, particularly carbon emissions
• the 737 Max problem, COVID-19 implications, and developments in the space industry
• updates in international aviation, open-skies, global deregulation, Single European Sky and SESAR, and Middle Eastern airlines

Aviation and the Role of Government chronicles the involvement of government in the evolution of air transportation, including passing mention of early governmental involvement in prior modes of transport, such as the maritime and railroad industries, which formed the foundation of aviation.
