The aim of this thesis is to conduct a comparative analysis of the air transportation industries in the Philippines and Malaysia. Through this approach, recommendation on development strategies can be put forward to the Philippines. The research is based on the two facets of Air Transportation: (1) Infrastructure to be determined through evaluation of the core-factors of airport competitiveness, and (2) Air Service Liberalization, by application of the quantitative air services agreement review designed by the WTO. The result show that Malaysian privatization of the managing bodies of its Airports and a less bureaucratic division of air industry actors has led to more efficient and competitive airports, unlike the state owned and operated Airports of the Philippines. The study also found a positive and significant correlation between Philippines bilateral air service agreements, and contracting states openness to foreign ownership and legal origins. Malaysia on the other hand mostly focuses on partners with equally liberalized skies, particularly within its close regional proximity.
