Abstract
This is a broad and far-reaching study on the relationship between tourism and air transport. In examining this relationship the paper looks at whether the deregulation of air transport has influenced the tourist destination countries in South Europe and to what extent and examines the impacts of deregulation on capacity and fares. The study also attempts to determine whether deregulation has has caused growth in the market and attempts to determine the integral relationship between the transport and the overall tourist experience. Finally, this paper studies the impacts of the tourism transport at the destination areas. Included with the paper is an extensive list of tables and figures.

"The current study uses both quantitative and qualitative methodological processes to analyze the issue and works to determine what deregulation of the air transport industry has done to the tourism industry. This is very important to those that work for air transport companies, and equally important to those that work in tourism. The conclusions that are found here will provide answers to potential problems that have been seen throughout the tourism industry for some time with a focus on the five specific countries that have been selected by the researcher for this particular purpose."

"A PERISHABLES STRATEGY
Introduction
This research explores the feasibility of a business strategy option for an air transportation firm that would cause the firm to focus almost exclusively on the air transport of perishable goods from source to market.
Justification For A Perishables Strategy
Speed and constant temperature are the keys to success in shipping time-sensitive goods like flowers, seafood, and fresh fruits (Cohan 10). As an example, on Valentine's Day the temperature in Minneapolis hovers around 20 degrees Fahrenheit; yet many of the city's residents want to celebrate the holiday with red roses that must be shipped from warmer climes. Roses for Minneapolis in mid-winter come primarily from Mexico. The Mexican border is ..."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the two classifications of US airlines; legacy carriers with hub-and-spoke systems and newer low-cost airlines with point-to-point models. According to the paper, with only moderate changes in growth and spending predicted, legacy airlines are in big trouble. The paper reviews the problems that legacy airlines are facing.
Outline:
Introduction
Supply-Side Problems
Demand-Side Problems
Solution and Recommendations
Conclusions
From the Paper
"In addition to the influence of economic conditions, the airline industry is characterized by other very complex demand dynamics, depending on travel distance, type of traveler, and domestic and international flights, to name a few of the many factors that determine the degree of price elasticity or inelasticity (Air travel demand elasticities: Concepts, issues and measurement). For long-haul international business travel, demand is not sensitive to fare changes because there are few close substitutes. On the other hand, long-haul domestic business travelers have much higher elasticities than international business travelers. Telecommunications has become more acceptable as a substitute in domestic markets due to common culture, laws, contracts, etc. International leisure travelers are more likely to either postpone their trips in response to higher fares or seek locations that are not as expensive. Currently, the dollar is weak against many international currencies, serving to make many destinations unappealing price- sensitive leisure travel."

Air Transportation System, 2005.
An examination of challenges facing the American airline industry.

Abstract
This report presents an insight into the airline industry and some of the problems it faces. It argues that there is no doubt that the airline industry is in crisis. It points out that the likes of the large national and international carriers such as American Airlines, Delta, United and Continental were all either operating in the red as continued concerns regarding issues like the price of fuel, terrorism and a weak world economy continue to hamper an industry that was already prone to cyclical downturns. The writer explains that all of these large United States based carriers have either filed or has considered filing bankruptcy to ward of creditors and shareholders alike and also to try and rediscover solvency.
From the Paper
"The situation in the airline industry is bad to say the least. Major airlines such as American Airlines, Delta, United and Continental have all considered or are already under bankruptcy protection in order to hold off organizational collapse. Since deregulation, bankruptcy has been one of the few saving graces that have helped the major airlines stay solvent. The events of September 11, 2001, where terrorists hijacked planes to use as missiles on several targets has been linked to the decline of the industry and a major cause of their financial troubles."

Abstract
The writer of this paper describes the escalating air pollution problem in Buenos Aires, mostly due to the increase in poorly maintained automobiles that are permitted to operate. This paper examines the increase in mortality rates due to respiratory and circulatory diseases which are a direct result of declining air quality. This paper also discusses the various strategies that the government and environmental groups are considering instituting in the Argentinean capital, which include spot controlling of diesel vehicles as well as a training and awareness campaign.

From the Paper
"In 1988 estimated emissions of particulates were 68,000 tons per annum, stationary sources being responsible for 96% of emissions in the early eighties. These sources were given 5 years to comply with strict guidelines aimed at reducing emissions. The imposed reductions have been met by industry, however the particulate problem remains. Probably caused by the fleet of poorly maintained diesels. To resolve this problem several measures have been introduced including Spot control of diesel vehicles, certification of distributed diesel oils and a training and awareness campaign especially for truck, taxi and bus owners."

Transportation and the Environment, 2002.
A discussion of the potential effects of the government's preference for private transportation over public transportation on the environment.

Abstract
This paper looks at how the government's preference for private transportation over public transportation bodes ill for the environment. The author believes that there is conclusive proof that a bias towards private transportation promotes urban sprawl. This, of course, promotes extensive deterioration of the environment and greatly increases the size of man's ecological footprint. The silver lining of this ugly cloud, though, is that efficient public transport systems can still be developed to curb this growing problem. Sprawl, ironically, may provide the necessary impetus to reduce the appeal of private transportation and eventually make public transport systems more efficient and competitive. This is but only one reason that a government's preference for private transportation over public transportation bodes ill for the environment. This paper will provide clear arguments to further support this assertion.

Abstract
This paper looks at the early history of the airplane, what innovations have been made since its conception, mistakes made as airplanes evolved, and what possible changes will be made in the airline industry in the future. This information is evaluated with regard to the impact airplanes have had on transportation and the transportation industry.
From the Paper
"At the end of the 1800's, several people were trying invent the airplane. In 1891, German engineer Otto Lilienthal started to experiment with hang gliders. He based his experiments on the conceptions of Sir George Cayley, who had extensively studied birds and their flight almost a hundred years earlier (invention.psychology.msstate.edu/). Cayley discovered "the lift function and the thrust function of bird wings were separate and distinct, and could be imitated by different systems on a fixed-wing craft (invention.psychology.msstate.edu/)." Lilienthal dealt with a fixed-wing glider at first, instead of a complete airplane. He made airline invention a respectable concept since he was a noted engineer. Prior to his involvement, inventors of airplanes were looked upon as crackpots and wild-eyed dreamers."

Abstract
This paper explains that the UAE is endowed with an extensive coastline fringed by white sandy beaches and a varied landscape suitable for a wide variety of activities from powerboat races to sand skiing to golf . The author suggests that, to draw more tourists to stay longer, increase spending, and make repeat visits, efforts need to be intensified to represent Dubai and UAE as exotic places with year-round events filled with a carnival atmosphere. This requires a well-planned and widely publicized tourism calendar throughout the year and well in advance. The paper stresses that tourism must be placed high on the national agenda and be given the same status as expor-oriented and infrastructure industry.

From the Paper
"The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation, consisting of seven tribally based emirates that lead the southeastern portion of the Arabian Peninsula south of Bahrain and Qatar. The federation covers 83,600 square kilometers and geographically it is enclosed on the north by the Persian Gulf and Iran, on the east by Oman, and on the south and west by Saudi Arabia. Its geographical locations separate Oman from its territory on the Musandam peninsula and extend 90 kilometers along the Gulf of Oman, an area known as the al-Batinah coast. The curse of the nature in the form of arid desert and salt flats are visible everywhere. However, Arabs are not a frustrated lot due to arid climates and blessed in the form of oil reserves by the Mother Nature. They are blessed with mountains in the northeast that rise to 1,200 meters. Due to low rainfall, there are few fertile areas except in the north and among the oases."

Categorizing Transportation Systems, 2002.
A look at the history of transport as divided into four categories - those that travel by wheels, those that travel by rails, those that travel by water, and those that travel by air.
1,095 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 38.95

Abstract
This paper discusses these categories and shows how both current and past transportation systems fit into these four categories. It also looks at how changing technology and the changing needs of society alters the forms of these transportation systems, but not the basic means by which they travel. It concludes that the four categories remain the same, while vehicles in each continue to develop.
From the Paper
"Firstly, it is necessary to define the term transport and the transportation systems that are being referred to. The term transport is defined as "to carry from one place to another" (The American Heritage Dictionary). It is also necessary to distinguish between transport and transportation systems. For example, a ladder and an escalator are means of transport, as they allows people or goods to travel from one place to another. These are not, however, transportation systems. Transportation systems are means of transport created for the mass transport of people or goods. This definition includes all the forms of transport that are used to transport people over varying distances but excludes the transports such as the ladder and the escalator, since they are not a means of mass transport. It also excludes those means of transport that are not created."
