What To Expect From The Aviation Industry Over The Next Decade

The global aviation industry has experienced severe turbulence in the past few years and has been rushing to recover promptly in this year's post-pandemic era. Now that the aviation industry has stably flown through this storm, what lies ahead for the industry in the next decade? Let's discuss the possible trends.
Pilot shortages, Single-pilot operations not happening the quicker adoption of technological advances, the electric aircraft, small, city-like airports, the decline in regional airlines, the new look of business travel, premium economy class and the shift in the world's market dynamics is what we'll cover in this video - thanks for watching!

Single pilot flying commercial *passenger* planes is unlikely but single pilot flying commercial *cargo* planes is inevitable

[@6z0]

Nah. Thats just unlikely as passenger plane

[@TW19567]

@@6z0 There already is single pilot passenger operations.

[@6z0]

@@TW19567 Not in the airlines. Corporate biz jets and small charters yeah. But we werent talking about that.

[@TW19567]

@@6z0 plenty of commercial airlines fly aircraft certified for single pilot operations. Once the workload becomes less and less single pilot operations will become feasible. Aircraft already have electronic checklists that mostly do the checklists themselves. The autopilot is required to be engaged for RVSM airspace. As workloads get lower and lower to operate aircraft there will be less and less need for a two crew operations. Just like you don’t need a flight engineer anymore. I mean crikey we will happily let UAV’s fly around without worrying.

Mate of mine used to drive a bus. Now flies a plane. Same job but with wings. Cost of training needs to come down to an affordable level to allow potential flight crew to fulfil their ambitions. £100K plus is a lot of money to take on.

[@wadehiggins1114]

I'm not sold on that idea of single pilot operation.

[@vagasint.4345]

Most aren’t and it’s 100% understandable

[@Jakobly]

a strong point here is that Airlines are creating/ have created an industry environment that prioritizes profit over the wellbeing of passengers and their own employees

[@gleitsonSalles]

Like... every industry?

[@6z0]

Uh, Thats called a business, buddy!

[@gamm8939]

lol, most airlines barely make any money

[@u0aol1]

New planes are a pretty solid expectation

[@clementmakamo4557]

Plz include cabin and engineers outlook. Also africa is left out.

[@bryant3825]

Simply Flying amazing job on the video but I think there is more to this for the next decade. I predict Supersonic Passenger jets are making a comeback, such as Boom Supersonic already broke ground on their factory in Greensboro airport in North Carolina, for their Boom Overture. And the development and widespread use of Alternative fuel sources such as SAF's, Electric, Biofuels, hydrogen and more which help it make it much more sustainable than existing fuels. So in other words planes will go much faster again with cleaner sources, newer innovations and materials. Another thing I predict is that there will be a comprehensive operations of Commercial Spaceflight since more airports are becoming certified to handle Spacecraft and airports are having spaceports components and facilities. Its becoming more possible for airports to serve a duel purpose. As you pointed out that regional flights will be covered more with smaller electric aircraft such as Heart Aerospace and so forth. So Turboprops are coming back in a big way. Also newer aircraft design as you pointed out such as blended wing design, delta and so forth will appear in major commercial airports more. Alot of changes happening this decade and more.

[@nolan7434]

Biofuels are still not sustainable unfortunately, just redirects emissions.

Efek pergeseran saat terjadi over industri masih lebih berpeluang memukul dan menggeser pada mida transportasi darat dàn transportasi air terlebih dahulu sebelum danpak itu terdampak ke perusahaan aviasi itu sendiri.

[@Jexeter66]

Erm, regional airlines might be on the way out in the US, but for the rest of the world they're not going anywhere... A lot of airports are connected only by regionals, and indeed a great deal of regions are solely reliant upon them. In the UK for example, full-cost airlines (BA, Virgin etc) are near enough not concerned with domestic connectivity, and budget airlines can only operate the most profitable routes to fill their larger aircraft, when their attention isn't totally dedicated to the foreign holiday market.

[@Berdiyor570tiler]

Planes fly by electricity and the tickets will be a little cheaper.

[@black1124]

Excellent video, information, today's passengers demand low airfares, airlines can do whatever, but they are a risky business, will see what the future will have.

[@chrismckellar9350]

I see full service airlines move to 'seats to suit fares' business model similar to what Air New Zealand is providing.

[@AnotherPointOfView944]

Explain please?

[@chrismckellar9350]

@@AnotherPointOfView944 - The concept is easy. If traveling with a carry on, you pay for the seat, carry only, basic IFE and refreshments being water, tea coffee, traveling with a 1 checked bag, carry on, seat, basic IFE and refreshments being water, tea coffee and full service being 1 check bag, carry on, seat, full IFE, meal/s and refreshments.

Latin American market could also be interesting - whenever monopolies are broken, more airliners are able to compete and less governmental interference, control, and intromission will prevail.

[@PakaBubi]

I have much darker prediction regarding the future of the aviation. It is very likely that most of the developed world will be involved in some form of an armed conflict with each other by the mid to the end of this decade and that will cause the partial collapse of aviation industry. But even we avoid that to happen (very unlikely), due to our current lifestyle and way we abuse the planet by the 2050-2070 the world will be a much quieter place and flying will be only for a niece market, just like 70-80 years ago. People will use ships again to travel between continents if they have to.

[@NickyMitchell85]

How could there 🐝 a pilot 👩‍✈️ shortage in a world 🌎 of some 8 billion people? If the world 🌎 today had much less than 8 billion (such as 500 million or just 1 billion) then I might understand.

[@adamp9348]

The shortage of pilots is at the regional carriers. The majors have plenty to choose from. That will fix itself as regionals slowly die out… Paying FOs on 50-seat RJs $100K a year isn’t a sustainable model.

[@wadehiggins1114]

Not everyone can afford to complete the course. It's not cheap! I've been trying to get into jetBlue's program in Orlando, Florida.

[@PilotCharles]

Pilot shortages are due to airlines constantly downsizing over several years in time. Airlines around the world would rather have 4 737 MAX 8s or 4 A321XLRs instead of 1 747-400 or 1 A380 which in the long run means 8 engines burning fuel instead of 4 engines burning fuel

[@arvidm4913]

Why do we even need one pilot in 2023? Have have self driving cars and a plane is much easier to make self flying. If there is an emergency, some pilot can just remote steer the aircraft

[@asystole_]

OK. And what if the emergency involves the remote flying system?

The fuck are you saying
