G.A.R.S. Theme Coordination

The G.A.R.S. general assembly 2007 decided to introduce a new feature within G.A.R.S. As research themes

in air transport are plentiful, but G.A.R.S.' management capacities are limited, the new function of theme coordinator

has been created.

What is a theme coordinator?

The theme coordinator should take over responsibility for one theme, which is not yet covered by G.A.R.S. workshops

or G.A.R.S. publications. Particularly, the theme coordinator should promote the subject, foster discussions, prepare

publications or organise workshops.

The following themes were suggested:

§ Airport regulation

§    Economics of low cost long haul services

§ The future role of business jets in air transport

§ Corporate risks in aviation

§ Management of ATC-services

§ Aviation law and economics

§ The future of satellite airports

§ Intermodal traffic.

If you want to take over responsibility for one of these themes or if you want to suggest another theme that you think would fit

into the G.A.R.S. community, please contact

For the theme "External benefits and costs of air transportation", G.A.R.S. designated (Institute of Transport Economics,
University of Münster) as Theme Coordinator. Please contact Robert in case you want to contribute to this area.
