The body begins by contextualizing CIDNA’s modernization within the Asia-Pacific’s post-Cold War transport boom. Section One outlines infrastructural upgrades—airports, navigation aids, and communication systems. Section Two explores security implications: dual-use technologies, surveillance capacities, and risks of militarization. Section Three evaluates economic dividends: trade facilitation, tourism, and logistics integration. Section Four considers governance and safety standards. The conclusion links civil aviation modernization to regional balance, cooperation, and risk management.
