Air transport
– what it comprises
The air transport industry includes
those activities that are directly
dependent on transporting people
and goods by air. This includes:
• the aviation sector – airports,
airlines, general aviation, air
navigation service providers
and those activities directly
serving passengers or providing
airfreight services; and
• the civil aerospace sector, which
comprises the manufacture and
maintenance of aircraft systems,
frames and engines.
Together, these two sectors provide
a measure of the total industry,
which we have termed the air
