In the rapidly evolving airline industry, new technologies play an increasingly critical role in the delivery of real and perceived value in reducing costs, enhancing revenue, and improving customer service and customer safety/security. This book focuses at a senior executive level, examining the key forces affecting the airline business and their potential in terms of short and long-term strategies. The author discusses the role of emerging technology on the airline industry, defined very broadly and including computers, information, databases, aircraft, telecommunications, Internet, wireless, speech recognition, face recognition, etc. His argument is that technology should not only be an enabler of business strategy but crucially the driver of business strategy. The central theme is the vital interaction between technology and business strategy across a wide spectrum of functions - executives sharing their insights of what is needed in terms of revolutions in consumers, technologies, and productivities. What has held airlines back are not so much legacy systems but legacy mindsets, organizational structures and processes, as well as the intelligent selection, investments, and implementation of value-adding technologies. The book is the outcome of the author's own experience while working with a number of airlines and his participation in many discussions with practitioners in the airline and technology firms.

High-speed flight is a major technological challenge for both commercial and business aviation. As a first step in revitalizing efforts by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to achieve the technology objective of high-speed air travel, NASA requested the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study that would identify approaches for achieving breakthroughs in research and technology for commercial supersonic aircraft. Commercial Supersonic Technology documents the results of that effort. This report describes technical areas where ongoing work should be continued and new focused research initiated to enable operational deployment of an environmentally acceptable, economically viable commercial aircraft capable of sustained supersonic flight, including flight over land, at speeds up to approximately Mach 2 in the next 25 years or less.

This essay sheds light on the future of the airline industry and explicates how emerging technologies will revolutionize the airline industry. Moreover, the benefits of leveraging robots in the airline industry are demystified in this essay. Furthermore, how to earn substantial money online so that you can afford to procure your own airplane is expounded upon in this essay. The future of the airline industry will not only be characterized by dynamism as it continues to metaphorically evolve, but will also be eminently auspicious for passenger airlines and customers. Technological advancements are profoundly changing the airline industry and are rendering it all the more technology driven. The behemoth airline industry shows no signs of decelerating anytime in the imminent future. Passenger airlines are poised to have prosperous, lucrative, and auspicious futures as disposable incomes rise among tourists and as the desire to travel builds traction worldwide among prospective tourists. "Globally, commercial airlines generated combined revenue of around $838,000,000,000 in 2019. In 2009, the commercial aviation industry entered a golden age. Between 2009 and 2019, revenue in the global aviation industry grew at a compound annual growth rate of around 5.3%, reaching $838,000,000,000 dollars in 2019. The sector's improved financial performance is the result of a rising number of air cargo and passenger figures, which in turn are driven by a world that is increasingly becoming more and more affluent and interconnected" ("Revenue of commercial," 2020). Traveling is a luxury that more and more customers are able to avail themselves of in the digital era. In the digital era, you can travel on the cheap by vicariously traveling through other travelers via experiencing their epic escapades and adventures unfold in the form of captivating travel videos. Travel videos can even feature meticulously walkthroughs and tours of your favorite foreign countries and destinations. This vicarious traveling experience only requires you to have an internet connection and computer or smart phone in order to indulge in embracing. Being able to seamlessly vicariously travel to foreign countries by watching the travel videos of content creators on social media websites has culminated in raising global interest for traveling. Customers want to travel to the destinations that they have only caught a glimpse of in videos. The growing interest in traveling among customers has contributed to the robust growth of the airline industry. Customers are all the more enticed to travel to foreign countries once they have vicariously traveled to foreign countries from having watched travel videos on social media websites that feature the adventures of their favorite content creators in foreign countries. The advent "of low-cost airlines" ("Revenue of commercial," 2020) has rendered traveling all the more affordable for tourists. "The evolution of ancillary revenue streams and automated ticketing technologies, as well as the ongoing deregulation of civil aviation in many markets worldwide have given rise to the emergence of low-cost airlines. Ryanair, the Irish airline that may even be dubbed an ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC), and Southwest Airlines are the main players in the low-cost airline category, which is attracting a growing customer base. In this segment, many carriers have taken to charging their customers for ancillary services in order to boost revenue. Low-cost carriers are so successful that upstart airlines, such as WOW Air, La Compagnie, or Norwegian, are trying to enter the market" ("Revenue of commercial," 2020). In the coming years, demand for low-cost airfares is apt to surge as more and more low income customers seek to travel to foreign countries. Much to the benefit of prospective tours, low-cost airlines have rendered traveling to foreign countries all the more affordable for low income customers.

Introduction: A desire to see new places, meet different people, and perhaps conduct some business on the side has been an enduring feature of civilization. However, international travel remained largely the province of the adventuresome or the very rich until the advent of modern aircraft. The second half of this century has seen a steady expansion of the jet set as international air travel to and from the United States has risen from 1.1 million passengers (1950) to 32.8 million (1978). While in 1950 half the overseas visitors went by ship, by 1978 the ocean liner customers had decreased to less than five percent of the total travelling public. International travel is still small compared to the domestic air travel market. In 1938, when domestic trunks carried 1.2 million passengers, the airlines had two percent of the 27 billion intercity common carrier passenger miles. In 1950 airlines had increased their share to 14% (of 56 billion) and by 1978 the air share had risen to 84% (of 218 billion). In 1978, 120 million round trips by air were taken in the U.S., compared to 7.8 million U.S. citizen departures for an overseas destination. Both domestic and international traffic statistics clearly surpass growth in population from 1950 to 1980 (152 million to 223 million) and Gross National Product ($534 billion to $1,481 billion, 1972 dollars). What was responsible for this surge of travel? First of all, a reasonably safe and convenient vehicle was needed. "Most of the people who traveled on planes in the early 1930s 'had damn good reason to travel, ' said C.R. Smith [President of American Airlines]. 'Their son fell off a horse, or they had to go to Mayo's --that kind of thing. There wasn't much discretionary about that kind of travel.' "The well-to-do flew. Since flying cost more, air travel was elite travel all through the 1930s. And of these, only the brave flew. A few might take a trip 'to see what it was like.' Others flew for the exaltation earthlings were still discovering in the sky. "But the dominating motive for the 474,000 passenger-flights taken in 1932 was speed. It could not have been anything else, Fortune said, because planes were not as safe as trains, and far less comfortable. One in every 2,200 who travelled that year was involved in a flying accident. Still, in 1932 a $5,000 insurance policy for a plane trip cost $2; for a train journey, twenty-five cents. Wives were still a powerful influence--they swayed men to stay off airplanes after every crash. "Manufacturers' representatives were the backbone of air travel in the 1930s. These were men who had to travel to sell, and the airlines sought their patronage." (Solberg, 1979: 220-221) In the U.S., the DC-3 revolutionized airline travel. On the Atlantic, it was the DC6-B and DC-7 and the introduction of tourist class. When growth in 1951 had fallen to only 8%, it appeared that the limit of people who were willing to pay $711 for a round-trip ticket had been reached, and Pan Am introduced tourist flights--followed shortly by planes that were operated in part as first class and in (large) part as tourist." ... tourist class brought a fantastic upsurge in Atlantic air traffic --up 17% by 1953, 9% more by 1954, then up 19% in 1955, and 20% more in 1956. By 1958 low-fare air travel constituted two-thirds of the North Atlantic business, and Pan Am found that between 67 and 77% of those flying tourist had never been in the air before." (Solberg, 1979: 347-348) In fact, Juan Trippe, Pan Am's president, said later "that the introduction of air coach ranks after Lindbergh's flight and the onset of the jetliner as the third major milestone of airline history." "The importance of that change, which preceded the arrival of jets, was that for the first time the ordinary man began to fly with us," Trippe said. (Solberg, 1979: 345) "The increase in population, in the moneyed class, in overall income played its part in this swift growth ... Tremendous promotion by the airlines and travel agents of economy fares and package vacations also had their effect." (Solberg, 1979: 406) The arrival of the jets, starting with the Boeing 707 -in October 1958 from New York to Paris and ending witwide bodiesbodies, did indeed result in a tremendous increase in travel. At last airplanes were able to fly-over the weather and, combined with dependable fan jet engine power, the reputation of air travel for reliability, comfort, and safety became firmly established. Able to purchase economy class tickets, the public rushed in to fill the seats. By 1972, according to Gallup, half the people in the United States had flown at least once. But even in the early days of jet travel, it was the business traveller who was the dominant passenger. The PANYNJ estimated in 1969 that 5% of the passengers took 40% of all air trips. Across the Atlantic, as late as 1965, the full-fare paying passenger still exceeded the discount and promotional passenger. By 1972 this percentage had decreased to 16%, as the total of all air passengers went from 3 million to 13 million. (The International Air Transport Association [IATA] surveys indicate that 70% of business passengers pay full fare, compared to 20% of vacationers.) Thus, the big upswing in international travel has been in the pleasure travel class, while business travel has increased only slightly in the last decade. The industry is still relatively young and dynamic. Across the North Atlantic, the primary international travel market, going through the air surpassed travelling on water only in 1957. Even in this relatively well established market, trends are subject to rapid change. Growth had been positive from year to year (averaging 18% from 1957 to 1973, with annual increases ranging from 9% to 27%) until 1973, when the total traffic topped out at 14 million passengers. It was 1977 before 1973 levels were reached again. Did the factors that caused growth reverse themselves, or did new factors appear and overwhelm past causes? Do the aggregate numbers hide differing cause and effect relationships? This report is an attempt to explore questions of this nature.

The primary human activities that release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere are the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) to generate electricity, the provision of energy for transportation, and as a consequence of some industrial processes. Although aviation CO2 emissions only make up approximately 2.0 to 2.5 percent of total global annual CO2 emissions, research to reduce CO2 emissions is urgent because (1) such reductions may be legislated even as commercial air travel grows, (2) because it takes new technology a long time to propagate into and through the aviation fleet, and (3) because of the ongoing impact of global CO2 emissions. Commercial Aircraft Propulsion and Energy Systems Research develops a national research agenda for reducing CO2 emissions from commercial aviation. This report focuses on propulsion and energy technologies for reducing carbon emissions from large, commercial aircraftâ€" single-aisle and twin-aisle aircraft that carry 100 or more passengersâ€"because such aircraft account for more than 90 percent of global emissions from commercial aircraft. Moreover, while smaller aircraft also emit CO2, they make only a minor contribution to global emissions, and many technologies that reduce CO2 emissions for large aircraft also apply to smaller aircraft. As commercial aviation continues to grow in terms of revenue-passenger miles and cargo ton miles, CO2 emissions are expected to increase. To reduce the contribution of aviation to climate change, it is essential to improve the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and initiate research into new approaches.
