우리나라 항공운송산업은 1948년 10월에 대한국민항공사(KNA) 설립된 이후, 올해로 민항 70년의 역사를 이어 왔다. 현재 우리나라는 9개의 국제항공운송사업 면허를 보유한 항공사가 활발하게 사업을 영위하고 있으며, 2017년 기준으로 우리나라는 항공운송 수송실적(국내+국제)이 세계 8위를 차지할 정도로 세계 항공업계에서 그 위상을 확고히 하고 있다. 본고는 현재 우리나라 항공운송산업에 대한 분석을 통해 국내 항공운송산업의 내재적 문제점과 그에 대한 정책적 내지 법적으로 보완할 사항이 무엇인지에 대해 살펴보고, 향후 우리나라가 글로벌 항공 강국으로 지속 발전할 수 있는 '항공정책 방향'을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 항공관련 통계자료를 분석해보면, 우리나라 항공운송산업은 매우 높은 성장률을 보이고 있으며, 국적항공사들도 지속성장을 위한 투자를 계속하고 있다. 나아가 새로운 기업들도 시장진입을 위해 노력하고 있다. 2018년 11월 현재 4개 기업이 국제항공운송사업 면허를 신청하였고, 1개 기업이 (화물)국제항공운송사업 면허를 신청한 상태이며 국토교통부는 2019년 1분기까지 면허발급 여부를 결정할 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 상황에 대해 일부에서는 경쟁촉진을 통한 가격인하와 소비자 편익 향상을 기대하고 있으나, 반대편에서는 경쟁심화로 인한 항공사의 재무구조 악화와 안전투자 소홀을 우려하기도 한다. 현재 상황에서 우리나라 항공운송산업의 문제점을 정리하면 첫째, 저비용항공사들이 내국인 수요 유치에 집중하는 반면 외국인 수요 유치에 대한 노력이 부족하여 장기적이고 지속적인 성장의 기반이 취약하며, 둘째, 최근 몇 년간의 고도성장에 따라 조종사, 정비사와 같은 항공 전문인력의 부족과 주요공항의 슬롯이 포화상태에 이르러 지속성장의 장애가 되고 있으며, 셋째, 항공사들의 재무건전성이 체계적이고 지속적으로 관리되지 않아서 급작스런 지정학적 리스크나 글로벌 경기 침체시에는 항공사들의 재무상태가 일시에 급격이 나빠지고, 그 피해는 고스란히 소비자들에게 귀결될 위험이 있다. 국적항공사들이 지속 발전하기 위해서는 첫째, 성장기반을 세계 항공시장의 무한한 수요에 초점을 맞추고 국제경쟁력을 갖추어 나가고, 둘째, 정부에서 항공 인프라를 항공운송산업 규모에 맞게 지원하여야 하며, 셋째, 우리나라 항공운송산업의 미래를 이끌어 나갈 항공 전문인력을 체계적으로 양성하고, 넷째, 정부는 상시적으로 항공사들의 재무상태를 관리하여 소비자의 피해를 미연에 방지해야 할 것이다. 현재 항공운송산업은 극심한 경쟁이 일상화 되어 있다. 국적항공사의 지속가능한 발전을 위해서는 항공사들이 모두 치열하게 노력해야 할 뿐만 아니라, 정부의 모든 기관들도 우리 항공사들이 국제경쟁에서 이길 수 있도록 정책적으로 뒷받침 해나가야 할 것이다.

The growth rate of international aviation is expected to be higher than that of most industries and the proportion of carbon emissions from the aviation industry will become very significant as the year 2050 approaches. Constraining the growth of this industry is not desirable because it is essential for human welfare as well as the development of related industries. However, reduction of carbon due to aviation is not easy because it is difficult to improve fuel efficiency in a significant way. The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), which is the main organization responsible for handling this problem, developed a program named CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation). The present study analyzes various strategies for countries and airlines to comply with CORSIA using a fuel-efficient system. We conclude that countries should improve their airspace utilization systems, airport facilities, and air navigation systems. Additionally, based on the results of a flight data analysis, airlines should improve their operational efficiency in terms of operations control, flight operation, and maintenance management.

As the price competition between airlines became increasingly intensified, due to increased participation of low-cost carriers in the air transport industry and the continued deregulation of international air transport, each airline has introduced various management techniques for securing international competitiveness and operational efficiency in order to cope with the uncertainty in air transport industry. The world leading LCCs, such as Ryan air, easyJet and Southwest, have changed their traditional business models by increasing operation to primary airports, diversifying operating routes, making strategic alliances with FSCs or other LCCs, increasing the operations on the mid or long distance routes, expanding ancillary revenues, etc. As Korea's air transport industry is confronting with intense competition, our LCCs are requested to adjust to this new challenging situation. As the world leading LCCs did, Korean LCCs are recommended to adopt new business models such as restructuring of the air transport industry through M&A, operating more flexibly in terms of frequency or route, launching of services to primary airports, making strategic alliances with foreign FSCs, developing of 4th or 6th traffic demands, etc.

항공운송산업은 그 성격상 국가간 인적 교류의 수단으로서의 중요성이 가장 높다. 항공에 의한 국가간 교류가 이루어지면 이에 따르는 파급효과 및 그 지속성이 타 산업에 비해 월등하기 때문에 항공운송산업에 대한 연구는 국제협력 또는 통합과 관련한 국가 정책은 물론 관련 산업분야의 측면에서 매우 중요하고 가치가 있다. 특히 최근 북한과의 경제교류가 활발해 짐에 따라 북한과의 연결교통망으로서 항공운송의 역할이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 남북 정상회담이후 급격하게 증가되고 있는 남북간 항공기 운항이 정상적이 아닌 임시 직항로를 설정하여 운영하고 있고, 그 운항회수도 매년 증가하고 있는 점을 고려할때, 남북한 임시 직항로의 운영상 과제를 국제적으로 정한 기준으로 해결하지 아니한 상태에서 지속적으로 운영하는 것은 바람직하지 않다고 본다. 따라서, 본 연구는 남북한 민간항공의 협력이라는 큰 틀위에서 국가적 과업과 효과적인 항공정책의 수립을 위한 기초자료의 제공을 위해 군이통제하는 북한의 민항공에 대한 현황을 분석해 보고, 현재 남북 양국간에 진행중인 "남 북한간 민간항공기에 의한 협력 방안"으로서 "정부의 협력방안과 항공사간 협력방안"을 제시하였고 남북한간에 설정운영중인 "임시 직항로의 운영상 과제"에 대한 개선 대안으로서 임시직항로의 안전확보를 위해서 양국간에 항공관제협정을 체결하여 운영할 것을 제시하였고, 낙후된 기술 요원과 시설에 대한 지원도 하여줄 것을 제시하였다.

General aviation and air transport are two wings of the civil aviation industry. Chinese air transport is developing rapidly, and has become the world second air transport system only second to US since 2005. However, Chinese civil aviation is far behind the world average level, and cannot meet requirements of economic construction and social development. The transition and structural adjustment of Chinese economy provide the general aviation with a unprecedented broad market. The prospect of general aviation is promising and anticipated. The development of general aviation industry needs the legislative supports, and the current legislative conditions of Chinese general aviation are undoubtedly far behind the realistic requirements. Accelerating the legislation in Chinese general aviation industry requires scientific legislation concept. First, Legislation must promote development of general aviation industry. The general aviation will serves as a Chinese emerging industry that boosts domestic demand, promotes employment and expedite domestic economic development. We should, based on both the concept of promoting the industrial development of general aviation and national industrial planning, enact and rectify relative laws and regulations. And we should also straighten out the relationship between aviation security and industrial development and promote the revolution of low-altitude airspace management in an all-round way, in order to improve the utilization rate of airspace resources, classify and establish airspace, simplify examination and approval procedure and intensify operation management. In addition, what we should do is to expedite the infrastructure layout construction, guide the differentiated but coordinated development of general aviation industries in various areas, establish a united supervision mechanism of general aviation, redistrict the responsibilities of Chinese Air Control Agency and set up legislation, law enforcement and judicial systems with clarified institutions, clear positioning and classified responsibilities, so as to usher in a new era of the legislative management of Chinese general aviation industry. Second, shift the focus from regulations to both regulations and services. Considering the particularity of the general aviation, we should use American practices for reference and take into account both regulation and service functions when enacting general aviation laws. For example, we should reduce administrative licensing and market supervision, and adopt "criteria" and "approval" management systems for non-commercial and commercial aviation. Furthermore, pay attention to social benefits. Complete social rescuing mechanism through legislation. It should be clarified in legislation that general aviation operators should take the responsibilities of, and ensure to realize social benefits of environmental protection and ecological balance .Finally, rise in line with international standards. Modify Chinese regulations which is inconsistent with international ones to remove barriers to international cooperation. Specify basic legislative principles. One is the principle of coordination. Realize coordination between the civil aviation and general aviation, between military aviation and civil aviation, and among departments. Two is the principle of pertinence. The general aviation has its own rules and specialties, needing to be standardized using specialized laws and regulations. Three is the principle of efficiency. To realize time and space values of general aviation, we should complete rules in aerospace openness, general aviation airport construction, general aviation operations, and regulation enforcement. Four is the principle of security. Balance the maximum use of resources of Chinese airspace and the according potential threats to Chinese national interests and social security, and establish a complete insurance system which functions as security defense and indemnificatory measure. Establish a unified legal system. Currently, the system of Chinese general aviation laws consists of national legislation, administrative laws and regulations and civil aviation regulations (CAR). Some problems exist in three components of the system, including too general content, unclear guarantee measures, incomplete implementation details, and lacking corresponding pertinence and flexibility required by general aviation regulations, stringency of operation management and standards, and uniformity of standards. A law and regulation system, centered on laws and consisting of administrative laws regulations, industrial regulations, implementation details, industrial policies and local laws and regulations, should be established. It is suggested to modify the Civil Aviation Law to make general aviation laws complete, enact the Regulations of General Aviation Development, and accelerate the establishment, modification and abolition of Chinese general aviation laws to intensify the coordination and uniformity of regulations.

The International air transportation industry provides a vital communication link which brings prosperity to many states in our modern age. This invaluable link has been threatened by terrorism. Airlines have been one of the most attractive targets in the eyes of terrorists for several reasons, including particularly the international and symbolic nature of aviation, and the potential of multigovernmental involvement which can inevitably generate wide publicity. Terrorist attacks against civil aviation have been committed since the earliest days of civil aviation history. The first attack against civil aircraft dates back to the early 1930s. Since then, aircraft hijacking and other forms of attack against air transport operations have become one of the most serious challenges to the safety of flying. In recent years, a new form of threats against civil aviation has appeared. Man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) in the hands of criminals, terrorists, and other non-state actors pose a serious potential threat to passenger air travel, the commercial aviation industry, and military aircraft around the world. The purpose of this study is to provide some countermeasures against such attacks. In order to foster a better understanding of the problem, an introduction of MANPADS and a brief history of attacks using MANPADS are presented. It also examines the level of threats, trends of attacks using MANPADS and the possible countermeasures to be taken by the international community.

The response to climate change of international air transport industry might be initiated by ICAO's CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) which will impact on international airlines' flight operation behavior in the future. Though the airlines' efforts to reduce fuel consumption has been a major issue in economics of aviation industry, the improvement of fuel efficiency in flight operation will have additional impact on their profitability by introducing carbon emission cost. The fuel consumption in flight operation will be somewhat influenced by pilots' technical action for maneuvering aircraft during flight operation. This study will investigate pilots' behavior on decision for tactical aircraft control for mission flight. The data will be collected by the survey through sample pilots asking about their intention and perception on fuel savings during flight operations. The data will be analyzed by AHP process and the study will find out the elements and factors influencing pilots' behavior on technical decision of flight and their weights on fuel saving effects.

The Chicago-Bermuda system has been charaterizing international aviation order sine 1940's. Bilateralism was established as 'the' way of nogotiation in exchange of traffic rights among nations thanks to the system. The system was stable until new phenomena came into the scene. The orderly development of international aviation began to be threatened by a series of technological and commercial breakthroughs in the late 60's and 70's. Also, in the field of international aviation, aspiration of the newemerging third world countries was hightened and the emergence of an unified Europe was added to it. These caused worries on bilateralism as an efficient means of negotiation. New waves of multilateral(reginal or international) approaches have been conducted. Its formal discussion is accelerated by vigorous talk on multilateral liberalization of international trade in commodities and services, i.e., the Urguay Round. In this paper, we examine historical development of bilateralism and multilateralism in a perspective of political economy; changes in the international aviation industry, merits and demerits of the two regimes on competitiveness of negotiating partners. The ways Korea can respond to new changes are presented and compared and a tentative stance she can take is proposed.
