ReplyDeleteRecently the aviation industry has become more comfortable to keep up with changes in the modern-era .And many things have evolved and improved foe example: number of passengers has risen, because air transportation has become the safest and the fastest way to travel from place to another and the same reasons for freight. Low cost carrier airlines provides cheap tickets for people with limited services and this every walk of people can purchased tickets. Moreover, aircraft design has improved and the biggest airplane which is super-jumbo airbus A380 can carry up to 800 passengers that will be easy for airlines to move a large number of passengers and their luggage at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, airports process many passengers so they need facility to process them and they have to expand the area like terminals and concourse areas to accommodate a large number of passengers and this improvement also going to help the community by providing jobs.
Air travel has become cheaper, easier and more comfortable for passenger than ever before.
ReplyDeletePassenger numbers have increased substantially to reach 2.4 billion passengers travelled by aircraft in 2010. 34 million tons of cargos were transported in 2010. They have increased low-cost-carriers airlines for everybody so they can travel cheap .Aircraft has changed. Nowadays aircraft can carry above 500 passengers, for example Airbus A380 is one of the gigantic aircraft in the whole world. The first country which bought this aircraft was Singapore. Airports should expand to reach the level of comfort and they also should increase the number of jobs for people to work in it.
Setback of aviation were affected by terrorism, wars also have been volcano’s caused and diseases.
In conclusion, the air industry will continue to grow more. It will develop by new technology and particular people.
Air transportation has become cheaper, easier and more comfortable for passengers than ever before.
ReplyDeleteThe number of passenger in 2010. The increase in the economy around the world, affect in the transportation of cargo and goods in positive way.
For that increase, the volume of freight and travel of cargo increased to 43 million tons in the year of 2010, this huge numbers of the global air transportation created 32 million jobs in the aviation industry around the world.
In 2010, there were 1.4 million flights and only one accident. We can say that air transportation is the safest way to transport.
This industry had negative factors that threatened the aviation industry like war, disease, terrorism, volcano, economic recession. This is the main factor.
in the future, I think aviation industry will increase more. Because a lot of countries like Qatar and UAE going to build new airports or make them bigger, to hold the huge increase of passengers in the future
Air transportation has become cheaper , easier and more comfortable for passengers than ever before. Also the volume of freight has increased today and from two big compaines in the world that make planes for airlines Airbus in Europe and Boeing in the United States.
ReplyDeleteNowadays , ofcourse we have to find ways to make the travel easier and cheap low-cost carries around our world.
However , the engineers in the companies try to make big andcomfortable aircraft to provide to ….
On the other hand, the airports also have to make every things easy to passengers and airlines provide them with supports serives.
Finally , the passengers , airlines and airports have to continue every thing to benfit from this big transportation today and that happen by using the technology.
Air transportation has become cheaper, easier and more comfortable for passengers than ever before. Also you can reach to the farthest country from Qatar in less than 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteIn 2010, passenger number has increased significantly causing congestion in the airports. They reached to 2.4 billion passengers .There are several low-cost carriers which help offer cheaper more affordable tickets to passengers for some airlines. For instance FlyDubai (F2) and G9.About aircraft design, we have two kinds of aircraft one for passengers and other for cargo. Passenger aircraft has many entertainments and more comfort for travelers.Another point for this aircraft it has first class for businessmen and economy. On the other hand, cargo it is only for carry luggage.
New Doha International Airport is gigantic project because it will be more interesting and attractive in the world. Furthermore it has huge Amery terminal and hangers for Airbus A380.It will be amazing airport and more safe.
