A Comprehensive Book for Air Transportation Management
We used this book, fairly often for Daniel L. Rust's class at UW-Superior. I thought the book was fairly comprehensive, with good examples, and real-world historical accuracy, as well as complete guides on how airlines/airports work. Still, there could be room for improvement, as I would have liked to have seen more pictures, and it could have delved a little deeper into how airports actually run, but for the beginnings of Air Transportation Management, this was the book to have to guide us through the course.

Good Book
I purchased the book for my college course. Flow of content is overall good. Chapter 4 could have been written more clearly. It is very difficult to understand.
