Summary/Abstract: Southeast Asia countries have integrated their socio-economic development together as the ASEAN Community. The paper focuses on air transportation as one of the key drivers of the connectivity. The indicators, i.e., air transport service efficiency and airport connectivity, reported by World Bank, are investigated. Each country’s GDP per capita was mapped these indicators to reduce economic advantage gap. The results are suggestive that Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore possess outstanding potential. The Philippines and VietNam are satisfiable in airport connectivity yet need improvement in air transport service. Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Brunei are lack behind in both areas.
