\"Abstract<\/p>\n

I<\/span>n a new paper, published in Science Direct<\/a>, Professor Stefan Gossling looks at the future of the airline industry, especially after the set-back it has had from Covid. He says it is important to \u201cthink the unthinkable\u201d, and not only what is possible for aviation, but what is desirable for society \u2026 most stakeholders in industry and policymakers would agree that it is desirable for aviation to become more resilient financially and more sustainable climatically \u2026 COVID-19 has forced many airlines to reduce their fleets, retire old aircraft, or stop serving long-haul destinations\u00a0 \u2026 As a result, air transport capacity is diminished. Further reductions in capacity may be achieved by reducing subsidies \u2026 A scenario for a resilient aviation system should have a starting point in the question of how much air transport is needed \u2026where risks are accounted for, and where their cost is part of the price paid for air travel. In a situation of reduced supply, there should be an opportunity for airlines to increase profitability \u2026 Many questions need to be asked, such as those addressing volume growth, the sector\u2019s reliance on State aid, its unresolved environmental impacts, and hence the basic assumptions on which aviation operates.<\/p>\n

This is an excerpt of an article originally published on Airportwatch<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
