Challenges Facing The Aviation Industry

• Financial pressure: rising infrastructure costs, volatile oil prices, green taxes and the economic downturn have left many airlines struggling to stay afloat.  For some there is a limit to how much of this additional financial burden they can absorb and the pressure is on to perform more efficiently and cost effectively, whilst still maintaining a quality and reliable service.

   

• Falling premium traffic: the global recession has meant less business and first class passengers, adding to the economic pressure felt by airlines.  As businesses worldwide struggle to cut costs, there has been a trend for increasing reliance on teleconferencing instead of premium travel.

• Customer focus: offering customers a quality and reliable service, whilst still maintaining a competitive price is a difficult task to achieve.  Each airline needs to find its place within the market and create new ways to enhance their customers’ travel experience.

• Safety and security: these are ongoing concerns which place a huge financial burden on the airline industry every year. 

• Sustainable aviation: at the forefront of any airline’s responsibility is the need to reduce their carbon footprint and maximise fuel efficiency, for instance with the introduction of carbon neutral biofuels.
