چکیده
This paper uses both world-wide and country-level analysis to describe the relationship between air transportation and economic activity.

We also identify the role of government and exogenous drivers in this relationship. We illustrate the relationship using several examples: Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Jamaica, China and India.
