  1. The aviation industry has improved in the recent years. One of the reasons to change aviation industry are improved the technology and advanced the knowledge. In the last years, the passengers number is a steep rise about 2.4 billion of passengers in 2009. And also there are millions of international and domestic passengers are processed through the major hubs. These years, there have been founded many low-cost carriers such as fly Dubai in the middle east as result many people go to these airlines to cheap tickets with limited services. The airports need to adjust, developments, wide and long runways for the big aircrafts such as jumbo jet Boeing 747 and super jumbo Airbus A380. Nowadays, some of airports have a big problem with congestion. The best solution to avoid the crowding is made a big wide terminal. In the future, I think the airports will have self-services and new technology.

  3. Nowadays, air transportation has been one of the most important ways to transport passengers and freight. The main customer for the airline that operate the flights is the passengers, in 2010 the number of passengers reach more than 2 billion. The air freight company has been important to transport goods and freight. Cargo flights increased and the amount of tones increased to 43 million tonnes last year.

    In the other hand, the national flag carriers offer tickets with high prices, because they offer very good services like Qatar Airways (QR), British Airline (BA). But the low-cost carriers offer a cheap ticket with no frills and it’s accessible for any person, such as Fly Dubai (FZ).

    About the aircraft design, there are many shapes and sizes of the aircraft. As its known Boeing and Airbus is the most known companies that make aircraft.

    Finally, in the future airports have to increase the space of the runways, or have a bigger runway for the Super Jumbo A380. With the technology development, passengers can do the self services by machines and they will be able to check-in from the web, before they come to the airport and that will help to decrease the amount of congestion.

  4. Travel is the most important thing for people to travel from country to other country.
    Passenger numbers have increased. For example more than 2 billion travelled in 2009.
    As a result aircrafts have become bigger. Air bus is the biggest aircraft. Also airports have expanded service .they have built new terminals, run ways and big concourses. In addition air travel has become more affordable .as result air craft ticket has become cheaper. In conclusion, the industry will depend on technology and service to make travel easy and comfortable

  5. Today, the number of passengers has increased sharply and millions of domestic and international of passengers are processed to hubs every year. Now, millions of tones of cargo are carried by air-freight companies such as: DHL and FedEx and you can carry: animals, cars and machines. In addition, everyone can travel to everywhere in the world by low-cost carriers and these airlines offer cheaper tickets with limited choice of services for instance: flydubai (FZ) in the Middle East. Also, there are many different designs of planes such as: wide-body and narrow-body.
    On the other hand, there are many problems that the industry has experienced: diseases, political protest, terrorism and economic recession. Political and economic downturn can affect negatively the aviation industry. Security check point can make congestion for passengers.
    It seems that the industry continues to rely on technology and safe such as: self-services and modern technology.

  6. In recent years, the aviation industry has increased and developed significantly. The number of passengers has increased substantially. Millions of international and domestic passengers are processed through the major hubs every year. Likewise, the volume of freight has increased too. Now, people can transport different kinds of goods such as vehicles and furniture, clothing ... etc from one country to another by air freight. There are many aircraft companies which carry goods, like DHL and FedEx. Also, we can see the presence of the low-cost carriers as a type of airline which allow everyone to travel anywhere by offering cheaper tickets with limited choice of services, as flydubai (FZ) in the Middle East. In addition, there are different designs of airplane. There is a wide-body aircraft and narrow-body aircraft and each country has a special design for its plane, like Qatar Airways (QR) which has the Oryx as the logo. Furthermore, airports need to adjust and develop new terminals, and new runways to accommodate bigger planes such as Super Jampo A380.
    On the other hand, the aviation business has experienced many challenges and obstacles, for instance overcrowding of passengers and security check points that impede passenger traffic and cause congestion. Also, the natural factors have affected air traffic, for example: volcanoes, earthquakes and global warming.
    In the future, the airport will include several facilities which will solve the problems of congestion and the movement of passengers by relying on technology as the self-service model for check-in.
