Abstract: This article examines the impacts of the ‘Arab Spring’ on trade in air services between the various North African and Levant countries involved. Studies of the implications of these socio-economic changes on trade in the region are made difficult because of a paucity of good economic data and the involvement of outside countries in the trade that now takes place. The number of international airline seats available provides a partial and fairly reliable variable to examine trade patterns. The analysis looks at changes in patterns of trade in these services between 1997 and 2013.
