dc.description.abstractThe archipelagic region of Southeast Asia consists of 24,000 islands, spread across 5,200 kilometers (kms) from east to west and 3,400 kms from north to south, with a population of about 350 million. Many of the islands are poor, remote from main centers of economic activity, and not well connected. Improving air connectivity can be instrumental in reducing development gaps. The paper examines the importance of improving air connectivity, and the state of the airline industry and the related infrastructure in the region. Special attention is paid to regional policies relating to air transport, and the paper concludes with policy recommendations.

  • ADB Southeast Asia Working Paper Series
    The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Southeast Asia Working Paper Series is a forum for stimulating discussion and eliciting feedback on ongoing and recently completed economic, sector, and policy work undertaken by ADB staff, consultants, or resource persons in the context of the operational work of ADB’s Southeast Asia Department. The series deals with economic and development issues in Southeast Asia and aims to enhance knowledge of the region’s development and policy challenges, strengthen subregional and country operations, and contribute to policy dialogue at the national and regional levels. The ADB Southeast Asia Working Paper Series is a quick-disseminating, informal publication whose titles could subsequently be revised for publication as articles in professional journals or as chapters in books. Maintained by the Southeast Asia Department, the purpose of the series is to disseminate the findings of works in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas. The emphasis is on getting findings out quickly even if the presentation of the work is less than fully polished.
