Chapter 1 in Research Handbook on Air Transport Leadership and Governance, 2025, pp 1-7 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The introduction provides an overview of the critical roles that leadership and governance play in shaping the aviation industry. By examining the interplay between these two areas, the chapter highlights their collective impact on industry operations and strategy. It emphasises the need for an integrated approach to leadership and governance, drawing on diverse examples worldwide. Historical and contemporary leadership figures are discussed, showcasing the evolution of leadership in air transport. The chapter also addresses the importance of inclusive and culturally diverse leadership, which is essential for fostering innovation and resilience. By decentralising the focus from traditional Western perspectives, the chapter broadens the discussion to include global insights, offering a richer understanding of aviation leadership and governance.
