Abstract: In this paper, airlines influence on policy through industry consultation is assessed by reviewing the institutional, technological and economic characteristics of air traffic management. Air navigation as a quasi-natural monopoly network implies that the ability for airlines to influence the content of investment programmes through consultation processes has certain limits. Two case studies on consultation processes in Australia are presented, in addition to a comparison between Australia and the UK. The results highlight difficulties with accommodating the interests of diverse users in consultation processes; on the positive side, however, such engagement increases access to information, improves stakeholder understanding of ATM investment programmes and enhances support.
