ICAO CIR292

This circular consists of Volume I - Global Perspective and Volume II - Assessment Methodologies. ICAO's evaluation of the economic contribution of civil aviation has been carried out with two objectives, namely to assess the contribution of civil aviation to the global economy and to develop guidance material for States on assessment methodologies.

Volume I portrays the importance of civil aviation in the global economy with its direct economic contribution and multiplier effects and emphasizes civil aviation's role as a catalyst in the global economy. It presents the results of a detailed study of the economic contribution of civil aviation in terms of global output and empoyment, followed by a profile of the major contributing civil aviation industries.

Volume II contains methodological guidelines on how to assess the economic contribution both of an airport to a regional/national economy and of civil aviation to a national economy. Two principal methodological approaches to an impact assessment are introduced: a core approach and an expanded approach. For both approaches, case studies of impact assessments of airports and a national economy demonstrate the assessment process and results.

This study is intended to assist planners and decision-makers to identify the economic contribution of civil aviation, which can serve as an instrument to justify funding requirements for the continuous development of infrastructure and other needs of civil aviation industries.
