  14. An Aero-political gridlock .. almost!

  15. An Aero-political gridlock .. almost! • Two Arab liberalization agreements ..not really implemented: the main driving force for liberalization is national agendas • National economic agendas vary depending on economic attributes .. Hence there is no predominant model that applies regionally • Privatization & Liberalization of ownership also depend on national economic attributes Regional approach can only be achieved through creating a critical mass of like minded countries or .. By external affiliation

  16. Conclusion

  17. Conclusion • In spite of the bright spot .. The long term future of growth depends on structural aero-political change • Liberalization & Privatization will become priorities but not uniformly • Air transport will continue to be an engine for economic growth
