Top 8 Challenges of the Aviation Industry: The Pre-COVID Era

The aviation industry is a world in itself, encompassing a massive workforce and contributing a significant percentage to the global economy. The sector was set for major growth, challenges notwithstanding, until the pandemic hit, post which it plummeted to a considerable extent. Yet, it is fair to state that despite the economic impact of COVID-19 on airline industry, it has been on the road to recovery, and may very well get back to the mainstream in a few years.

 

According to a research released by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) in 2018, the global aviation market outlook had been quite positive over a couple of years earlier. The report stated that at the time, the global air transport sector supported more than 65.5 million jobs and was responsible for a mammoth USD 2.7 trillion in economic activity worldwide. Additionally, the report claimed that a free-trade approach will help further the growth in air transport, and it will come to record USD 5.7 trillion in economic activities by 2036, while supporting around 97.8 million jobs.

 

The airline sector does, therefore, play a fundamental role in today’s society, but it is also important to highlight that it has its own fair share of challenges. From battling recessions to government regulations and terrorism to labor shortage, there are innumerable issues this sector has been facing.

 

The paragraphs below enlist some of the challenges of the aviation industry prior to the pandemic:

 


 

#1 Fuel Efficiency

Aviation fuel availability and costs have remained one of the major economic factors affecting the airline industry since nearly three decades. High jet fuel prices have a direct impact on the airline’s financial portfolio. With the number of airline companies rising year-on-year, fuel prices were on an all-time high, creating a vicious circle. Alternative fuels haven’t really been that impactful, thereby, maintaining fuel efficiency falls among a battery of key challenges of the aviation industry.

 

#2 Global Economy

The state of the world economy is one of primary challenges of the airline market. The 2008 economic recession for instance, had a disastrous impact on the aviation industry size. As global economy collapses, travel and fuel costs increase, while passenger numbers decrease. The impact of the recession on the tourism sector is also one of the key economic factors affecting the airline industry.

 

As air travel companies seek expansion across various nations and explore new routes, they must keep in mind the market conditions and volatility in the regional zones. Also, various nations have different economic conditions for growth, a factor which airline companies must remember when they seek international expansion.

 

#3 Passenger Comfort and Experience

The aviation industry is service-driven; its success depends enormously on how satisfied passengers are. The reason passenger comfort forms the crux of challenges faced by the airline industry is that no passenger is alike; at some point, a section of customers may always be dissatisfied. However, this is what has pushed airline companies to ensure seamlessness throughout – the actual air travel, excellent security, less/no hassles in airport lines, convenient baggage claim, customer care, and more.

 

To achieve these in a flawless manner is a consistent tussle of sorts. Customer surveys and feedback always depict that not all passengers have great travel experiences. For instance, IATA’s 2017 Global Passenger Survey depicts that only around 56% of North American customers were happy with their last travel experience. To that end, there’s always space for bettering customer comfort, which airline companies will continue to battle with.

 

#4 Airline Infrastructure

Airports must consistently upgrade their infrastructure – the runways, terminals, concourses, hotels, shopping centers, lounges, and more. There is major competition in this area; to maintain the reputation of the airline and remain ahead of competition, onsite amenities such as aircraft ground handling systems will need to be periodically renovated. While doing so occasionally is advantageous no doubt, leading to increasing passenger numbers, repeating the upgrade every now and then will have a significant impact on the airline company’s finances.

 

Aircrafts need to be periodically upgraded and maintained as well – this in fact, is even more crucial, as passenger safety is reliant on the same. Having faulty aircraft doors or aircraft seating is liable to get the airline sued. Airline infrastructure is one of most vital challenges of the aviation market, as carriers need to maintain their current fleet and also ensure to purchase new, modern ones, while ensuring fuel efficiency and lowered costs.

 

#5 Global Congestion

A couple of decades back, air travel had been a luxurious affair; playthings of the rich, especially in the developing countries. The scenario has changed drastically, today, airports the world over are so crowded that it has led to unnecessary flight delays. Most flights seem full, terminals are always congested, and more importantly, the skies are overcrowded with the excessive number of aircraft.

 

Air traffic and airport congestion are major challenges faced by the airline market, which seem to have no feasible solution, at least in the immediate future. Carriers continue to make trips seamless for flyers, however, this will continue to remain a viable challenge.

 

#6 Technological Advancements

To think that technological developments are one of the challenges of the airline industry may come as a surprise. Technology, however, is a double-edged sword, and despite the revolution it has brought about, rising dependence on the same can make the entire industry vulnerable. For instance, in case of a software issue, the operations of the airline may remain crippled until it is resolved. In case of insufficient funding, upgrading crucial infrastructure such as aircraft communication systems may be impossible, causing the entire system to collapse.

 

#7 Terrorism

Tragic events from the past have created ripples of fear not only among the masses, but also airport personnel. Although terrorist activities have dimmed down in recent times, this is still very much a threat, as airline companies must remain consistently vigilant. Increasing fear of terrorism leads to stringent check-ins and consequently longer lines and delays. It also pressurizes airline companies to come up with highly secure state-of-the-art screening procedures and equipment.

 

On a related note, even political scuffles between two nations can pose as one of the major challenges of the aviation industry. After all, airlines are the connection between two countries, and unreasonable government regulations due to strife between two nations can make it very difficult for carriers to conveniently transport passengers and cargo in and out of international borders.

 

#8 Climate Change

Without a shred of doubt, climate change and environmental issues have remained among the key challenges faced by the airline market since a very long time. Since commercial aviation is responsible for a considerable percentage of carbon emissions, the airline industry is under tremendous pressure to undertake measures that will reduce environmental impact of air travel.

 

As part of a response to this challenge, the IATA had suggested a multi-faceted, four-pillar strategy, including enhanced technology, efficient aircraft operations, improved infrastructure, and a single global market-based measure. Until these are completely and seamlessly met, climate change will continue to be one of the current challenges of the airline industry.

 

The aviation industry forms an important part of the global economy. Pre-COVID, airline companies had to deal with considerable challenges, the solutions of which were being thought out and assessed by industry experts periodically. The advent of the pandemic however, brought forth a set of groundbreaking challenges for the airline industry that it hadn’t encountered in any of the previous global disasters such as the 9/11 attack or the economic recession of 2008. It has not only brought about an entire 180-degree change in the way previous challenges were perceived, but a new set of risks that will now form the base of how the industry will function in the forthcoming decades.
