INTRODUCTION
Aviation industry is one of the crucial industries which provide air transportation facility
to the passengers. It is surrounded with the mechanical flights and the entire aircraft industry.
The aviation industry is classified as military and civil aviation (Dougan, 2016). In civil aviation
both general aviation and scheduled air transport are included. The general aviation includes
private air transport and recreational component along with the manufacturing of aircraft. The
industry gets affected due to various technical and economic issues that affect their operations. In
this report the issues which are faced by the industry are discussed along with various
suggestions to those issues.
MAIN BODY
Explain the reason for choosing this issue and why it is interesting to study
The issue that aviation industry has been facing and has major impact is of technology.
Technology plays important role in improving the operational efficiency of the organisations as
well as it facilitate reduction in the cost. For the organisation it is important to resolves these
issues as with this connectivity and customers travel experiences can be improved. The
operational efficiency of the organisation in the aviation industry can be improved with the
advancement of the technology. It is important factors as this facilitate the organisation in
offering better services to the customers. For making the services profitable it is important for
them to serve their customers efficiently and all these aspects made this topic interesting to
study. In addition to this with technology in aviation industry, manufacturing of the aircraft can
be made efficient which will make them fuel efficient, reduces chances of the accidents, new
generation aircraft reduces the impact of emission on the environment (Alam, 2016).
Explain and illustrate the way in which this issue impacts air transport today
Air transport is technologically dependent as in the aircraft advanced engineering is
required. This is the reason that industry is changing with the changing technology. Such
changes can have both positive and adverse impact on growth of the industry. Various ways that
they need to take into consideration includes:
Biometrics: For improving the passenger processing the technology of biometrics is
adopted by the airport authorities. Various international airports such as Changi Airport,
Heathrow Airport and many more has launched biometric projects at the airports which facilitate
