Air Travel Projected To Double by 2037

Projected upticks in airline passenger volume are sparking a surge in demand for numerous industry-specific products and services, publishes metaltechengineering.ie

Sixmilebridge, Ireland – June 10, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

The number of travelers taking to the skies has more than doubled over the last 20 years according to a recent report from the International Civil Aviation Organization. Analysts with the International Air Transport Association expect airline passengers to surpass the eight billion mark within the next two decades. As airlines struggle to keep up with the growing volume, demand for new aircraft and other industry essentials is expected surge.

Aside from the uptick in the number of passengers, airlines are dealing with changes in technology, efficiency concerns and a number of other developments. Members of various sectors of the aviation industry recently came together in Rome for the International Air Transport Association Air Retailing Symposium to discuss ways of improving and simplifying the flight booking experience for airlines and consumers alike. Streamlining check-in and bag-drop processes was likewise among their primary concerns.

Airlines are already facing a number of challenges in regard to the swelling passenger volume. By the time industry growth reaches forecast highs, some front runners in the sector could find themselves falling behind the competition. While some are focusing on aircraft modernization and incorporating the latest cabin comfort features, others are placing greater emphasis on the ecommerce and security facets of the industry.

Sources indicate many may be overlooking some of the more basic, fundamental aspects, such as accommodating customers between the booking and boarding phases. Yet another facet certain officials may be slighting is maintenance provisions. Industry experts note keeping aircraft in optimum condition is as important to the customer experience as the elements currently being addressed. For this reason, aircraft ground support equipment manufacturers like Metaltech Engineering are expected to be key players in the upcoming air travel boom.

Some market analysts suspect the industry could take a turn in the opposite direction. Naysayers warn certain countries’ opposition to foreign competition could hamper the growth of the industry instead of fostering it. Though some nations have already begun implementing measures to protect their own internal interests, most are leaning toward greater globalization rather than attempting to bring a halt to it.

Despite the possibility of protectionism and deglobalization slowing the expected industrywide upsurge, many companies offering products and services specific to the air travel industry are rising to the challenge. They are ramping up their efforts to meet the anticipated growing and evolving needs of airlines. As the air travel sector’s projected growth steadily approaches its full potential, those involved may meet with a few challenges of their own to overcome.
