Al Ali Vice-Chancellor, Emirates Aviation College, Dubai The steady growth in the various sectors of the aviation industry, which is clearly indicated by the current contribution to global GDP, necessitates the need for more research on the key issues that impact this industry. These include commercial challenges, environmental impacts, new technologies, and legal/political issues. The first International Aviation Management Conference (IAMC) was organized by Emirates Aviation College in Dubai, to provide a global platform where aviation management professionals, from both the industry and academia, come together to discuss the key strategic issues facing the industry and present contemporary research findings. This document summarizes the proceedings of the first IAMC, held in Dubai from 18 to 20 November 2012. The research papers that are included in this document were accepted following a blind peer-review process.
