This Research Handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the main challenges of air transport leadership and governance. Editors Gui Lohmann and Bojana Spasojevic integrate global perspectives and data to highlight the necessity of considering leadership and governance as complementary forces that enhance operational efficiency and strategic adaptability within the industry. Providing a nuanced understanding of how leadership and governance interact within the air transport industry, authors make a substantial contribution to the field by combining diverse theoretical frameworks and case studies. They conduct a systematic exploration of the multifaceted relationships between governance practices and leadership dynamics across different cultural and regulatory environments, using examples from Europe, Oceania and South America, among others. This Research Handbook is a pivotal resource for scholars and students in aviation management, transport, public administration, environmental regulation and governance, and business leadership. Its actionable strategies that can lead to transformative changes in organisational and regulatory approaches will be also invaluable to practitioners and policymakers in the field.
