Introduction
The airline industry is hardly restricted to domestic operations; its influences spread far beyond the United States, reaching all throughout the world. The success of this industry is in part dependent upon international cooperation – cooperation that has been facilitated by key historical events, the growth of important international organizations, and the formation of air service agreements (ASAs). In this assignment you will examine some of these key events and describe their contribution to the airline industry. You will also explore the application of bilateral and multilateral air service agreements and evaluate their impact on the success of the airlines worldwide.
