Abstract
Commercial air traffic worldwide is growing faster than the world economy. Trade and air transport are important tools for the international division of labour.

Advancing liberalization in Eastern Europe is giving impetus to considerable economic growth over the medium term which will create increased demand for air transport services, especially in countries whose highway and railroad systems are yet inadequate.
