Air Transport

What is Air Transport?

Air transport includes moving passengers, and their personal

belongings, from one location to another by

plane. The cost of fuel, terrorist attacks

and an economic recession are some,

but not all, of the factors that have

made the future of air transport uncertain.

The Airport

Even before boarding a plane, air transport can be frustrating and time

consuming. The inconvenience of airport traffic, long lines, delays and low quality service has influenced many

people to find alternative

transportation.

Advantages Biggest advantage is that it makes travel the easiest. No more taking

a week to cross the ocean or go to another country on vacation. We get to spend more time doing things we want or have to than traveling.

Another advantage is that for what it is, it is not too expensive (yet) and it uses the latest greatest technological advances to better the flight and our pleasure in travel.

It is also a heavily governed industry so consumer safety for the most part is the highest for almost any industry in the world.

There are more of advantages like comfortable, suit to meet your needs, excellent connectivity etc.

The aviation industry is very big and vast the scope of jobs is immense and varies from aircraft pilot ,aircraft maintenance, aircraft crew/attendants or air hostess, ground staff, ticketing, boarding staff, etc.

Disadvantages Disadvantage is that it utilizes a lot of resources to do its thing. Fuel,

rubber, metals, etc. The biggest problem for the industry is that it is getting too expensive for

many airlines to afford newer aircraft and do maintenance on them. Parts prices are going through the roof. Some time in the near future you're likely to see some sharp price increases for flying.

Disadvantage is air pollution and Increase in air traffic. Disadvantages are that you as a member of aviation industry, can have

long duty hours, odd hours duty, continuous traveling for days together

have to keep your cool in many untoward situations also.

Today Aviation Industry becomes so popular. Aviation, Hospitality and Travel this three industries are related to each other.
