48Challenges To Aviation Growth
- Air Travel Congestion Results in Delays, Missed
Connections, Cancellations, Added Expense and
Political Backlash - Aging Air Traffic Control Infrastructure Will
Take Years to Modernize. Could Lead to Airport
Slot Controls or Demand Management Systems Like
Lotteries, Slot Auctions, Peak Period Pricing and
Minimum Size Aircraft Requirements - Quality of Customer Service in the Air and on the
Ground is Frustrating Travelers. However, Price
and Schedules Remain Largest Determinants of
Demand - Increasing Security Requirements by Immigration,
Customs and TSA Discourages Travel to the U.S.
and Irritates Travelers Hassle Factor - Environmental Concerns Emissions and Noise May
Increase Carrier Costs, Limit Growth and Lead to
Governmental Programs Such As Europes Proposed
Emissions Trading Scheme
