Canadian air travel costs soar above global averages due to many factors: our vast landmass juxtaposed with a relatively small population, coupled with an array of regulatory fees. As highlighted by WestJet CEO, the burden on travellers is palpable. The lack of alternative travel options exacerbates the issue. It's high time for a comprehensive review and overhaul of our air travel infrastructure to ensure accessibility and affordability for all Canadians. #CanadianTravel #AirTravelCosts

The good regional results show that a recent upward trend still has momentum. European planemaker Airbus expects the Latin American air travel fleet to nearly double by 2042, driven by “an average annual real GDP growth of 2.5 percent, an expanding middle class expected to make up two-thirds of the total population, and urbanization projected to reach 86 percent (making it the second most urbanized region after North America).” 🔗Read more in our full article by Isabela Cruz here 👇 https://lnkd.in/d5HciXQK #Aviation #Tourism #Brazil #LatinAmerica

The 100% Airport problem! Holiday periods are those joyful days, when people look forward to some rest & relaxation. Travel is one tradition of holidays, when people travel by their millions! But the experience on the ground is definitely not restful! Remember those times when you were running to your gate, with just 5 minutes left! Or when you are in a queue with 100 people in front of you! Travel SPIKES! These spikes put stress on the aviation system, especially on the ground, at airports! Airports become super crowded & super busy teeming masses of people! The solution? Arrive very early! Then you have all the technology solutions that have implemented over the last few years! But, airport "choke" points - check-in counters, or bag drop off desks, security & immigration check-points mean that waiting times spike at these points! Any examples of airports that have done a good job of managing passenger flow even at 100%? Happy holidays everyone! #aviation #travel

Dealing with Air Travel Delays: A Growing Challenge While air travel often raises up images of adventure, for many, it can also be a source of frustration due to flight delays. A recent study by the travel website ‘Places to Travel’ revealed the top 10 most delayed airports in the United States. According to the article by Business Traveler, Provo Airport (PVU) in Utah took the unfortunate top spot, with an average delay of more than 100 minutes. Despite handling only 2,194 flights over the 13-month study, nearly 40 percent of these flights experienced delays. Flight delays not only affect passengers, but they can also create significant challenges for airlines in managing crew accommodations, last-minute bookings, and disrupted schedules. This is where platforms like AOGtion come into play, providing a smart, efficient solution for airline crew accommodations during unexpected delays or disruptions.
