Summary
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
The Article is devoted to the substantiation of the key global regularities of the development of the world market of aviation transportation on the basis of a comprehensive generalization of the stages of society’s development in the context of infrastructure transformations, the identification of trends and structural dominants of the global air transport services market. The study uses a systematic approach, the methodological basis of work includes the position of theories and concepts of development of society, conceptual approaches to the study of the world market of services, in particular the world market of air transportation services. The source and statistical basis of the Article are monographic studies and periodical publications of domestic and foreign economists-scientists, materials and analytical reports of the World Bank, the European Commission, the World Trade Organization, aggregated data of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Air Transport Association, the International Council of Airports, the open information Internet resources. The work systematized the socio-technological and infrastructural parameters of forming the stages of society’s development. It has been established that during each phase (from agrarian to knowledge economics and network society) the infrastructure has undergone revolutionary transformational changes caused by technological innovations, as well as due to the shift in the structure of production, and in the present conditions, becomes a global character, forming a global communications network. It has been researched critically the structural changes in the world market of services and found that in the post-industrial society, the sphere of material production does not lose importance, but the modern stage of the formation of human civilization is characterized by accelerated development and diversification of the sphere of services practically all over the world — a decrease in the share of raw materials and agriculture, capital-intensive industries, rapid growth of service sector, due to increased physical volumes of trade in the global economy, development in transport, tourism and other services. It has been established that the characteristic feature of post-industrialism is the increase of volumes of services of international air passenger and freight transportation, their regional diversification and strengthening of interdependence of national economies, since improving air transport infrastructure and reducing transportation costs under the influence of scientific and technological progress allows intensification of trade and economic cooperation between geographically distant regions, leads to a reduction in the cost of spatial organization of international economic systems, creates the preconditions for strengthening integration processes. The results of the work can be used in further scientific studies and practical developments in the field of detection and substantiation of global regularities of development of the world market of aviation transportation, increase of productivity of national economies, increase of the level of social and economic welfare of the population.
