In terms of aviation, the global market will have greater implications for the determination of national domestic policy. The concentration of international airlines into larger conglomerates and alliances reaching into formerly domestic networks for carriage will put pressure on government decision-makers. Another major factor for governments will be the development of new aircraft technology. Aviation policy makers will have new scenarios to deal with when science brings the next breakthrough in aircraft design, capacity and operating characteristics in the new millennium. The best approach to growth and development is to plan the transport corridor first, then plan and develop the region around the corridor.
Government has to be the leader and catalyst of change.
The aim is for a safe, efficient, and accessible transportation system. The test of all transportation service in any mode will be the overall performance, end to end. Optimal performance will require attitudinal change. Service providers readily blamed other service providers along the chain for failures in the past. Intelligent transport is another segment to be embraced in order to improve performance.
