International aviation industry is expected to rise with an unprecedented speed that would unable around nine billion people to travel through air globally by 2025, a body representing the world’s airports said on Tuesday.
Asian continent, which has been anticipated as century’s economic hub, is likely to lead the trend with the spiral increase of nine per cent until 2009.
In order to meet the growing expansions of aviation sector the world needs to expand the 1,659 airports around the globe, says Robert J. Aaronson, director general of the Airports Council International, an association of airport operators.
Aaronson said:
Given the current pace of construction and constraints on airport expansion, many airports may be facing a serious capacity shortfall if unable to urgently address infrastructure needs.
Industry watchdogs also fear if airports do not expand their basic infrastructures than it will suffer customer comforts. It’s need of the hour that industry partners, regulators, and governments should acknowledge this before time.
Study concluded on the current trends of industry shows that passengers’ influx will increase by an annual average of four per cent over a 20-year span. It is anticipated that industry will be inclined towards larger airplanes. Amid this growth, the sector needs to evolve more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly airliners, which will produce less GHG gases.
